RE: Hot Rod Cams Installed
That does sound sick man, I'm getting comp cam blower stage 2 cams put on as soon as they get in. (prob a week or so) It was stated to change gears to 3.73 with these cams in the write up and also was strongly recommended by the guy I talked to at comp cam, he told me that most cams will take away from your bottom end a little bit, but can be easily fix (and some) with gears. So I am getting 3.73s put on this weekend. I'm am looking forward to the change and I can't wait. So congrats on the cams and listening to yours makes me wonder what mine is going to sound like with a totally different exhaust set up then you.

How much did it set you back?
Tools- $238
Parts- $80(besides the $800 cams)
Time- 5 1/2 hours
Feel any difference?
Other than the car shaking..yes lost some bottom end, but if you are thinking of doing these cams just plan on a tune. I need to get it on the dyno or get a tune from Bama to make
a far assessment. Right now it just seems to be running rich.

Jmose- when and where did you order your cams from? I ordered from latemodelrestoration early June and have not received them. I have been following up regularly with FRPP and latemodelrestoration. I know I will most likely get them this week but just am a little irritated that I have not seen them when I asked for second day air and I know FRPP had them on hand 2 weeks ago.

[font="'primasans bt,verdana,sans-serif'"]I checked on these cams back in May with the guys that made the original youtube video and last week I got an email from Tommy @ JPC Racing asking if I was still interested. So I checked with Late Model once more and they still could not tell
me when so I canceled my order and ordered them trough JPC. Tommy had them on hand last Monday so I ordered them and they came in on Thursday. He told me at the time he only had 19 sets but that was a week ago.
