I got the HO cams installed this week. I was hoping it would give me tire shredding power, but alas...it only spins & barks the 33's. It's made up for the power I lost when lifting and going to bigger tires. I was nervous doing it, but it's not that bad if you go slow. I ran into some problems with the pdf instructions floating around here. It says to remove both cam senders. I could only find one. The other thing is I could not properly torque the drivers side cam sproket because the steering pump res is in the way to get a wrench in there. You have to remove all the power steering stuff. I didn't want to do that so I just gave it a REALLY good umph. HINTS: go get a torque wrench that reads inch punds. I converted the number to ft pounds (8ft/lbs) and it made my wrench seem inacurate.

JOIN THE CLUB...it was worth the 5 hours.

Why am I the only one who's had trouble with the cams??!?!

One good thing about it...they've been in and out three or four times now..I'm a pro at wiggling those covers out.

What problems did you have? Mine stubbled when I first fired it up and even after running a bit. Then I undid the battery for a bit and fired it up again. Seems to be ok now.
