Are you messing with this yourself?

  I'm going to do a little calling around. I don't think I'm going to tackle it by myself but I may see if I can provide assistance while it's being done. Here's a good link that shows some basic cam info and instructions for a cam install on an F-body:

Those are good instructions.  Was able to do mine with the help of those, and had never done anything like this before.

In our trucks, unlike the cars, you don't need to mess with the AC compressor.

I later changed my cam timing set - put in an adjustable one.  Getting the pickup tube screwed back into the oil pump was a MAJOR B!TCH for my fat fingers.  It took me hours.  One of my fingers had a numb spot on it for weeks due to how I had to manipulate it to get the screws started on that thing.

The GM book says if you are going to change the oil pump, to pull the oil pan completely off, not just loosen as those instructions say.  If I were doing this again on my 4x2 truck, that is what I would do.  Pulling the pan is a lot harder on the 4x4 trucks though as the front diff is in the way - you've got to remove that first.

If you don't pull off the oil pump, and have a good valve spring compressor, this isn't too bad of a job.  Definitely need to get a pipe to go with a breaker bar to get the crank bolt off, and later back on.  While you are doing this, you may want to pin your pulley - a popular thing to do for the SC crowd.

That's a definite for me - I know I've heard the crank pulley spinning a few times and I don't have the 3.25" pulley on yet.

Hey guys, I put in the GT2-3 cam and lifters kit along with yellow springs . It wasn't too difficult (I'll try to post up some pics if I can).I dumped it in to an LQ9 6.0 and I've got the Maggie with the 2.80 pully (she sounds like a 747 going down the street). I havent had any complaints, any questions and I'll be happy to help #7

I assume you've got the pulley size maxed out because you're running the MP112 on a 6.0 and are trying to get as much out of it as you can? What do your IATs look like with the 2.8" pulley? I'd think they would be really hot at the end of a run.

ME TOO!

My IAT's are a little high (98deg to 115degs) but I have a solutition for that (sno stage 2 kit) I'm also on PT.net and the Silverado boys with the 6.0's are running it and it cools them down by like 20degs. The added bonus is that up here in New York the only time I gotta worry about the high heat is in the dead of summer,other than that she's good #7

I can actually get more outta my 6.0, but then I'm crossing the line from daily driver to track toy and lord knows that I've got enough of those
