1. I added a 210/218 531 114, and it ran fine on my original tune. You should be fine for a week.

2. I wedged a prybar in between the spokes of the pulley and just used a large cheater pipe to break it loose and had no troubles. But I probably wouldnt recommend that particular idea. I only did it as an excuse to add an UD pulley if I was to break it.

3. I used the larry tool, found on the ls1tech- tools section. I'm sure the T-handle would probably work, but might be a little tricky on the back cylinders?

4. You should go ahead and replace the crank bolt because it is "tq to yield" and only a few bucks.

your cam should run fine on stock tune. my tr220 ran good with stock tune and stall. just have to two foot it at stop lights though. same here, impact worked fine for me...

might have to two foot the gas/brake some to keep it from dying when coming to a stop. It can be a pain in the *** sometimes. Most recommend getting a new crank bolt every time.

Mine will run on the stock tune, but its a milder cam
I used the prybar wedged between the spokes of the pully, but I know its not right
I used the t handle spring compressor after I brok two bolts in the head with the bent bar type. It sucked
I know I shouldn't have, but I also reused the stock bolt. No problems yet, but its something else I wouldn't recomend

I tried something a little different to get my crank bolt out...I picked up a big nylon strap wrench and wrapped it around the crank pulley, wedged it against the frame, then man-handled the crank bolt with a big SnapOn breaker bar. Went with a new crank bolt too...it's cheap enough and there's probably one on the shelf at the local dealer parts dept.
