We're talking ferrari tolerances here brah, stop being a hater.
lol you know what, you're right man! I've said my peace, and if the op doesn't want to take it under consideration, then i really could care less lol.

OP,
Take your time on the cams. Be sure to do it right the first time, because there may not be a second chance to get it right.

Good luck and be sure to let us know how it all turns out.

It's all good bpohlman13! I just wanted to realize what you may be getting into. You seriously might be fine by just dropping them in, but at least you now realize that it's good to at least check the clearance just in case.

Ya Jazzer, Im going with some DOT 5 fluid.

What type of timing should i go with these cams? Im just using my diablo tuner for now. Trying to sell a few things in order to afford the rest of the nitrous parts and money for the tune. So Ill have to deal with just adjusting the timing.

I hope you have done your research on converting to Dot 5. It is not mixable with Dot 3/4 at all. And while it is the best I personally wouldn't run it on a DD. Just my .02
