Let me know whats good for you and I can check my schedule. Also, is the truck gonna run crappy without a tune.

    Thanks,

    Pretty much whenever... I have nothing to do anymore as I got dicked out of my job. Just make sure you've got all the crap to do it...running to the parts store sucks.

    Gaskets, timing chain, coolant, oil, etc., etc. hahaha Shouldn't be too hard, just time consuming.

    This is the number on the end of the camshaft.
    0965 4 08 9277
    Does this number mean anything?

    Hitman: I will start gathering the things I need, I didn't realize I needed a new timing chain. Why is that?

    Thanks,

    Your stock springs will work fine with that cam. You can swap the cam in an afternoon with no special tools. Have a good 6pt 8mm socket for the rockers,and grease your cam good before inserting.

    congrats on the cam....

    not to be a post whore but i just got a 01 ZO6 cam and i was wondering if this came will give me any "lope" to the idle, or will it stay a sleeper(he he he).
    i think the specs are .525, .525, 204, 208 and 116
    any input would be appreciated
