Talking Cam Swap.... DONE!

I just finished the great cam swap and started the motor up. She took a little bit to catch, but she came up, running a little rough. I cant complain at all so far, but she's done. Dosent sound too far off from stock actually, but you can hear a little more grumble too it.

Otherwise, I let her idle for a little bit down to 1000 rpm, even 900 and 850 and she was'nt missing at all. Awesome. Then it took only the smallest hint of the gas pedal to let her hit 2000rpm actually, she ran up to 2500 almost instantly, I had to let off. I cant wait till she's fully up and running and tuned!!!

Millions of thanks to Illusions Street Racing for their guide, Shoebox for his page and it's millions of bits of wisdom, and all those that got me great deals on parts!

sounds great, I'm trying to get mine all back together, I went with the cc 224/236 114 Can't wait to see hw she runs without a charger, since I am still saving, I hear our charger cams work pretty well without having boost, since yours is pretty tame on the idle looks like your gonna have yourself a sleeper. post when you take it for a ride to let us know what kind of difference it made.
