I still need to dyno mine since the FAST install, but might not get to it since I may be getting a snail come winter...

What are the specs on your cam?

Not boost-friendly with the 112 so I'll get a new one come winter...

Update: Worked on the car some more tonight. Was able to get the crank plate and the remaining head removed.

The Torx bolts in the cam plate are quite the task! These bolts are stuck in that cam plate and I broke 2 different T40 Torx attachments trying to remove them. We ended up getting 2 of them removed but the other 2 are still stuck.

Looks like I'll need to go back to Sears and have the Craftsman T40 replaced.

Cam is very close to being swapped out.

Heads removed



Valves removed from heads (btw, these LS3 CNC ported heads are for sale!)


Here are the suborn bolts that broke my 2 T40 Torx attachments
