Got my cam today.

Well, got my cam I won from ebay today

. Came out of a 99 C5, I hope, at least that is what the seller says. Also came with some spring retainers, and pushrods, but didn't receive the pushrods yet. I don't beleive I need the springs or pushrods, but I only paid $20. Also, not sure how to go about installing it. Next in line is to get it tuned, just need to save the

.

I think BigKid and Allen have both done that swap. If I remember there was a thread about doing this swap also.

Hey man, congrats on your new cam

99 red silver is right, Allen just did my cam swap, and he know his stuff, you sure can ask him and this link is for a F-body cam swap, I guess it's very similar to the truck cam so here it is:

No problem, it's a thunder racing comp cam, 212/218 .558/.563 with a 114 LSA (high lift version on lower lsa) also did 918 springs, pushrods and ti retainers
check http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Catalogs...ML/200-203.html P/N 54-424-11 for the cam.
The cam pulls very strong from 2500 rpm and up, made a lot of difference, the only problem was to make it idle right, NOT for the tunning but because 03 and up trucks have the electronic TB so the computer take a little longer to learn to idle right, but once it does it, it idles great, you can't even notice the cam is there until you punch it.
Hope this helps.

RChevy.48, what are the specs on your cam?, there are a couple of friends that want to do the swap and don't want to go with the comp cams?
keep us updated on how it runs.
