Camshaft Question L99 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

What other parts are needed for the complete install? I don't see any head gaskets. I was thinking I could use the COMP Cams Camshaft Installation Kits 5623. What do you suggest? And yes, I have the 2010 L99 that I intend to keep as my daily driver.

Potential needed accessories?: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-5623

I will also be putting on some long pipe / high flow cat headers, and will be getting a tune. My current engine has 46,000 miles on it.

I don't want to steer you away from anything if you have your heart set on the Summit stuff - but if you want some help putting together a nice GPI cam package I can make sure you get all the parts you need.

I believe we have some of the very best grinds you're gonna find on the market - and we've powered a lot cars onto the fast lists. Moreover, we try to have the best service in the business. No pressure, but if you're interested feel free to shoot me a message on here with your goals and what you're looking to accomplish, and I can pull together a package to get you there.

acammer, thanks for the reply. I am not married to Summit products, and am open to any and all ideas. I am looking to add some power to my daily driver L99 Thanks for the reply.
I'm trying to avoid changing the torque converter. So I'd like to maximize my power with the existing torque converter.
My initial thoughts are to change out the cam, and any springs and/or rockers etc. I realize there are many paths to acheiving higher power outpout with internal mods.
I appreciate you reaching out, and yes I would purchase from any reputable manf with a package that meets my needs.

Changing the torque converter is probably the BEST mod (save a twin turbo/supercharger) for a L99....especially if you are going to cam it.
