Cost around $500 from Summit. Does anyone know if dealers generally install GM camshafts and give a warranty? City Chevrolet here in Charlotte, NC installs and warranty's headers, exhaust, and even superchargers on the Camaro but I would like to get a consensus and be informed before I call about the upgrade. Memories can be long and I want to keep the warranty. I have always performed all my own upgrades to my vehicles but this is our first new car and dont want to void the warranty on the wife's new car / anniversary present.
Thanks.

Hmm Good articles and magazines
One thing that I found with the Hot Cam is that it was a bit diffucult to get the idle tune. It could have been me though. If you get the hot cam insalled be sure to get it tuned afterwards.
GM could deny a warrranty claim should they feel that the cam was the cause of the failure. Will they? Can they prove it? would you want to go through the hassle of fighting? It's your call.
If you look at that article in GM High Tech take a look at the Lingenfelter GT11 cam. For a driver I really like that cam. I have a 237/245 Lunati in the LSA engine at this time. I am thiking about putting that GT11 cam in the car.
I mean, either cam won't be warrantied.
