Oh and while I'm in this forum...
About 2mths ago I made the decision to downgrade the cam that was fitted during my V6 to V8 conversion. A few reasons...hated the high idle and l just wanted the car to have as close to OEM drivability as possible. Not into the lumpy cams or high dyno numbers.
So about 5 weeks ago I did the swap. Went from a 224/230 .608 (both) @ 114LSA to a Crow 203/219 .551/.556 114
I was very surprised at how easy it was to do and as I already had dual springs and upgraded trunions, the heads didn't need to come off. I Used the old 5/16 dowel rods to lock the lifters during cam removal/refiitment
So after a few weeks of tuning, she is now an absolute joy to drive.
Another thing I did do was remove the following modules and send down to LsXtreme to get re-linked. This was due to programming issues I found after the conversion.
Inst cluster, ECU, ABS, HVAC, BCM, Airbag unit and both keys.
I can't recommend Mathew enough from LsXtreme. Everything now works as it should.
Edit: Tuning was carried out using HpTuners, AEM X series wideband along with lots of valuable tuning knowledge by Jason from Street Tuned Performance
