    Sounds good......very similar to mine (yours is just a bit louder).
    Had it tuned yet? I saw some pretty decent gains after tuning with similar mods.

    Very nice Idle quality videos can really help people figure out which cam they want. That engine bay looks great too!

    I heard the same cam running on OBD1 in a 3400 with headers and it sounded quite a bit different... maybe the SFI is helping it out...


    Sounds good though, very smooth.

    I was using the OEM, witch was very small. This chain streched in 5K, but this is do to the valve springs. I hear the pre 99 work great, but now I'm running the TCE timing kit with crank.

    I have my 99 GM setup on there still and its holding up good. As noted though, its typically the springs that your using that will also speed up chain wear. I also had my chain cryogenically treated so that may be helping a bit. TCE is a nice solution, but I'm not up for tearing the whole motor apart again to have the crank turned.
