Well guys I have completed my cam swap on my 2010 Camaro SS. With a couple hick ups, but everything seems good.

Here is the list of my mods.

BTR stage 4 cam, Johnson 2110 Lifters, Melling High volume/pressure Oil pump, 1 3/4 long tube headers, BTR 660. Double valve spring w/ titanium retainers, LS 2 timing kit with LS2 timing chain damper and a couple other things I can’t mention cause I can’t remember. Anyways she fired up and had a small oil leak.

Oil leak: https://youtu.be/emKjgSReIJ4

However, my tuner said she runs great. Sent her of to the tuner on a trailer and I’m going to let them do the rest of the work with the leak and tune!

I want to thank you guys here at Camaro 5 for all the GREAT help! You guys are the best!

Here is a link to my channel of numerous videos along the process. Not much detail, but it shows the Beauty and a couple issues I ran into.

I am open to any questions you guys may have! I am not a mean person and will treat everyone with great respect. No question is to much I promise! I’m only 21 years old and work a full time job! So if I can’t do it! Anyone can!!! Have a blessed day guys! Couldn’t have done it without y’all! Please show my YouTube some love! I would love to connect with you guys!

I would get me a big old wing on the trunk like I did. These are kinda pricey but their ready to go out of the box if you get the carbon fiber option or you can get a fiber glass piece and have it painted to match your car. They really set the car off.

And their a breeze to put on uses the factory holes of the old spoiler. Or if it's too much you could get others that can be color matched also for a lot cheaper 😉

What kind oil pressure are you getting with that oil pump? Melling 10355HV?

morepowerjoe · 08-15-2021, 12:35 AM

I don't know if you were asking me or Mlgprodriver but I'm getting 33 psi at idle with over 50 psi at cruising or anything after 1000 rpm.

LCPLPunk · 08-15-2021, 08:07 AM

What does the car look like now?
