Default P-i-t-a

well, finally finished my cam package, header, and servo swap and got it tuned, HUGE HUGE thanks to carey (454navyss) for helping me out on all the swapping....what a ride it was lol, ran into a million problems and snags and ended up us working on it for about 26 hours, not counting all the problems we had getting the servo to stay in the tranny....we probably could have finished it all in one night, but it was so freakin cold and it was slowing us down and making us miserable and grumpy lol....i was taking pictures till i started to get grumpy and cold and tired lol-

starting of the tear down-







trying to stay warm-







what frustration does for you-

















and that was all the pictures i ended up taking....i'll clean it up tomorrow and take some more pics and post em up but thats all i have for right now


thanks again to carey and everyone who gave me great deals on everything i bought!!!!!!

I think I should come out to learn a thing or two about actually doin stuff, looks like you got stuff done despite the cold.
I don't think it has been that cold lately though :p

Hell ya man, Thats a healthy cam. Curious to see what you put down. Throw a 34-3600 verter in there and it will be a nice and day difference..

Not trying to jack your thread, But here is are 2 vids of my truck before with a stock I6 TB verter and after with my circle D 3600, You can see a big difference down low..

Before:


After:
