Yeah, I am stoked. I just need to get the gaskets and a longer crank pulley bolt. I have three pullers but none of them are in one piece so I'll just try to make one good puller out of them. I have a crowbar style valve spring compressor, hopefully that will be good enough.

pull the radiator out, unbolt the front end of the engine, spin the cam a few times and throw the new one in. the valve springs are gonna be the biggest ***** of the install but get a system down, it wont be too bad.TSP makes some crazy stuff. you should gain more than 50 with the cam and the tune will help but not needed for a while

I have heard some horror stories about the magnets coming out of the hed of the telescoping pen, then they either drop a lifter or have to pull the heads to get the magnet off of the lifter. You can use 2 long dowel rods to make sure that none of the lifters fall out of the retainer. (thunder racing makes a nice set just for it)

yea thats a good reminder, shove the rods in there and it holds the lifters up, or trust god's wishes that they all stay up. many people do it that way and have no trouble. your choice tho.
