    well it took me most of the day, only because i had to drive 20 miles to a junk yard to get pi cam bolts out of a cop car :mad: between this and the pi intake i have noticed a big difference in power, any one that cannot afford a full pi swap i would really recomend doing this [IMG] [IMG]

    hmm, that's really odd. Thought they were the same. That actually sucks cuz my VT stage 1 cams are PI cams and i can't seem to find the PI washers and bolts i had - must have sent them with the last set of heads i sold off. Guess NPI sprocket bolts wont work on these either

    Yeah, for the cam swap you have to buy the pi cam bolts.

    I got the new valve cover gaskets and bolts from Randy Stinchcomb :nice:

    we un bolted the cam and that made the back of the cam lift up a little bit then we just kind of HE maned it, i was just worried that the tensioners would would tighten up but they didnt

    Jim e-mailed me and said that VT cams take 12mm bolts, which is the size of NPI cam bolts. 99+ are 10mm bolts i guess.
    Just FYI
