    I would like to thank all of you for your tremendous ideas! I have not had the chance to take her out for a test spin yet, however do to the numerous directions given here and the helpful information about my cam; she lives! The cam is a solid. after setting lash to .018 she cranked rt up! Scared the bejeezuz out of me as I still had the idle speed set pretty high and it hit 3500 rpm before I turned it off. I did a lil jig in the garage from utter joy that it started so quickly. Out of daylight and tired after work today, so tomorrow I will readjust the Carb to its out of the box settings (well as close as I can get) start her up and hopefully get a test drive in, barring any more issues. Will let you know how the Vac pressure and such is once I get the rest of it straight. Started ripping out the interior this weekend as well, thats the next part of the project.

    Little update here. Got the camaro running pretty well and have been driving it regularly. Took it to a friend of mine that builds some pretty nice cars himself to gain further insight on the cam. Turns out it is one hell of a cam and is better off on the strip than for the mild street driving I want. Turns out the cam comes close to Duration 285/295, Lift .532/.555 and sounds like it a beast. car runs well with it; aside from the fuel eating me alive it does do well in takeoff but really seems to enjoy the higher rpm's. Took it out in the boonies and ripped it open and once the rpms hit about 5500 she woke up like a completely different car. At this stage in the game I am ordering a new cam and lifter set to get a lot milder and better gas mileage as well. Unbelievable that the car actually passed inspection (emissions) with this cam but it did take a bit of tweaking with a machine to get PPM's way down. I would like to say thank you once again for all the help and support I have received here.
