Default Cam Install Questions!?!?!?

1) Do You really need a new gasket set when doing a cam swap???



I have a 2003 Silverado SS.. The cam is Comp 218-222-560-565-113+3

2) Can I Drive this on the stock tune for less than 5 miles to get my Torque Converter and other stuff installed.

i always use new gaskets just in case would be stupid to spend all of that money and have a gasket F-up and if you install the cam and then the converter man that computer is going to have one hell of a night but yeah it should work it will just take a minute for it to actually learn the idle again
