Finally finished! Cam is a beast!
After 2 and a half months I'm finally finished with my GPI SS1 VVT cam swap, and man she's a beast! Would have had her up and running alot sooner but I accidentally ordered the wrong size intake. I had alot of fun and learned a TON. Huge thanks to everyone who commented on my many questions and helped me along the way, wouldn't have been able to do it without y'all.
New tune and idle -thanks RDP/Dyno Steve First Pull/Moment of truth. It's pretty wet out yet and i'm still running stock pirelli's so I was expecting the slip, But nothing blew up and didnt get any flashing lights/codes!! Lol A few pics I took along the way... My wife was very "surprised" to come home and see our kitchen counter cluttered with car parts haha [IMG]  [/IMG]Had to pull the heads to swap out lifters since I have a L99. [IMG]  [/IMG]Figured I'd clean the pistons since heads were off. [IMG]  [/IMG]Pulling and reinstalling the balancer sucked... [IMG]  [/IMG]Out with the old in with the new! [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]New K5 chain and dampener. Timing realigned [IMG]  [/IMG]New cam specs [IMG]  [/IMG]Ughh...my oil tube/pump gave me so much trouble.. [IMG]  [/IMG]CHE trunnions going in! [IMG]  [/IMG]Installing new BTR 660 springs [IMG]  [/IMG]Heads and new vallycover installed and torqued to specs [IMG]  [/IMG]Everything re-installed and squared away! [IMG]  [/IMG]

That sounds awesome, nice work! Now do something about those exhaust tips so they don't stick out so dang far.

Was driving home after work and my CEL popped, P0011- Camshaft Position Timing Over - Advance. I found a couple threads saying it could be a tune issue related to the "VVT tables". I'm really hoping this is the case and its not something mechanical, if it is i'm gonna have to pull everything apart and chances are something will be damaged
 Anyway, I just emailed RDP/Dyno Steve and explained the situation, Fingers crossed.
