I did it. :hyper2: I bought a 226/236 .525/.525 110lsa GM asa cam. Could not pass it up cause it was So cheap and still new in box. I was planning on buying the Z06 springs and some hi-tech comp pushrods. Anyone have a better idea for the springs or rods? Also I know Ill need a crank bolt, a retune and some beer. But what else will I need? And wich one of yooz guyz is gunna help me put the damn thing in? I was going to put the locker and gears in next but I guess Ill wait a few weeks.
I saw in you sig that you had a 4.8? If so, I think that cam might be a little big? I have a 224/224 and it was a pain to get to idle right.Quote:

tune will straighten out the idle.youll be fine.if snything just raise the idle sum.my cam s only like 550 and it doesnt idle great at 6-650 but idles perfect at 7-750.itll be fine.110 is a steep lsa but itll lope for sure.good luck,
when you planning on putting it in? i might be able to lend a hand
as soon as I get all the parts. I still need to order the valvesprings, pushrods. And I might get an efan setup while Im at it. If I have any money left over Imight get some pullies.
nice well let me know when u plan on doin it

I'll try to help you out also, i have never done a cam in these engines before, i do have a cam removal / install tool that is handy for getting the cam in and out. Ask Kurt DBTBSS he is doing a cam swap on his tbss right now im sure he would be a great big help. Ricky should know how to get ahold of him....
I thought Kurt was just changing his oil and doing an air filter? :lol:Quote:

If it is in your DD, you will get annoyed by it. Unless you really, REALLY like to have a ROUGH idle...
I do!!! :burnrub: :naughty:
IMHO 110 is going to be SOO late in the power band but hey there not bad to change so you can always swap it if you dont like it.
I have done a few cam swaps in these engines so I can help ya out also. I have the sticks to keep the lifters up and a valve spring tool.
You will need coolant, new gaskets (timing cover, crank seal, and water pump). Some blue loc-tite, and a pully puller.
On mine I ended up removing the AC condensor and evaporator making it easier to get the cam out/in also the evap is right above the pass. valve cover which makes the back springs a PITA.
HARDEST part of the whole swap is getting the crank pully back on. I HIGHLY recommend getting the pulley installer from the guy over in LS1Tech. I just heated mine up in the over and gave it some light taps to get it started then pulled it on with the new bolt but I wasnt very happy about doing it that way.
ANYWAYS, let me know when you want to do it and ill be there!
sweet. well have a lot of help!!!
I'LL supervise the beer :lol: :beerchug:
I had to replace the crank pulley on mine, and I heated it up to and it slid right on. No problems yet.. knock on wood
