just time the PI cams, dont worry around degreeing non high lift cams

 

[98COBRA281]

how do i time them, ive read alot abotu cam swaps they say all you have to do is remove the valve cover take the gear off and have some one hold it so the chain doesent come of the bottom and then justa put the new cam in

 

[forum155pl]

thats pretty much it, but its always good to have a book on hand and check it about10 times before you put it back together..

ya i was thinking or buying a haynes manual, but i found alot of good info and all the torque specs off the internet so i think im gonna be alright ive done alot of cams on pushrod motors but never on a mod so i will take my time and check everthing twice

yea if the heads are stayin on the car and your using a stg 1 cam you dont need to remove anything other than the valve cover. pretty easy if you ask me, ive had mine for 2 years now and never had a problem, just get a good tune and make sure that cam bolt is tight

 

[98COBRA281]

im pretty sure my car has a tune done when i bought it it had a decal under the hood that said (tuned by global motorsports) and it runs pretty rich on my air/fuel gauge is they any way to tell?

Just to give you an idea of what is involved here is the write up I did a few years ago.
