@@Malsauce77 if the engine/lifters dont make unusual noise i wouldnt mess with it. Dont want to do unnecessary work. Might get a good couple of miles out of it before you HAVE to do anything to it.

@@SamberStyle Ok Cool Was Wanting To So A Stage 2 Or 3 Camshaft Any Suggestions?

[@SamberStyle]

@@Malsauce77 i worked with Gwatney Performance and the were awesome. Note if you do that, you most probably also have to upgrade your torque converter and new oilpump which will be a lot more work. And didnt do it, because the cam i installed is stage1 and close to stock.
