Hey guys I have a chance to get a low millage LT1 cam for $60... Now the cam in my 305 is often referred to the peanut cam and I know this LT1 cam will be big improvement to my car... Has anyone done a cam swap before? I have researched this topic a lot and found some nice hot to's on TGO but I just wondering if anyone here has done a cam swap...
Think its a good idea I mean its only $60...

I haven't done it but that should be one heck of a bank for the buck mod. Do you know if the valve springs need to be changed or not?

I think if I am going to do it then I will change the valve springs too, along with the rockers and other odds and ends....

Cool, don't forget to update your diary when you do it i wanna see how it turns out. That is like #3 on my list of performance mods I'm gonna do on my Camaro.

Good find. Luckily for us its a little easier on a Gen I small block.
