Man, it sounds like he is almost "under camming" you motor. Sure, you will have FI, but to me, that cam sounds small for what a blown LQ9 should be able to handle....Quote:

Then, run the motor till it reaches normal operating temps and change the oil--you should always do that after a cam change anyway--and change the oil to 5W-30 Mobil 1.Quote:

Too much stretch on the chain is good for high RPM, a shorter (advanced cam timing) chain gives you more torque.
