i remember the last thread i was reading, was this guy put a small GM cam in without changing the valve train. and other thread was when this guy put a cam into his car, and the toke out the cam, and put the stock cam in then blew his engine with the stock cam. i have have heard people in the forced induction blowing engines.
i think people under estimate the level of expertise it takes to mod a engine like this. i even remember Ted at JRE in one thread said, to many shops these days do not dial in the cam right. ( something of those lines)
in the end, when modding a camaro, you need to get the best parts, and have the best in you area install them. you cannot go cheap on ANYTHING.

I think it is wise if one brings their camaro to a speed shop that will replace the 100k mile warranty. Isnt there some in Texas and Florida? I know you will need more funds at one time, as opposed to a mod here and there, but seems worth it to be able to hold someone accountable. These shops know you are voiding the factory warranty, and wont have your back. They are, for the most part, going to put in your car whatever you buy. Not the best, safest, and most durable setup. These cost money, and when you present a budget...they dont want any money walking away from their shop. Leave it to the professionals.
