I just recently purchased the comp cams stage 2 ***** thumpr cams for my car...im going to be doing the install myself and was wondering if anybody had any experience with the install of this cam since it does not come with installation instructions?? any help would be greatly appreciated...I have found a few links to cam installs but most seem to have valve spring installs as well which this cam does not...here is a link to one that I have found...

does this look like a pretty good write up for a basic install...just wondering if this cam was a little different being that some steps of this install I wont have to do because I wont be installing valve springs...also where can you find the specialized wedge tool needed to hold the timing chain in place???

that's a nice write up, in fact i looked at it
for tips before i did my cams. here are a few
additional resources for your project:

there's also a cam writeup floating around this
forum, somewhere...

I didn't do the install myself, but I heard the above writeup is good. Did you get the phase limiters as well? You will definitely need them or you will have valve-piston clearance problems.
