DFW - Another cam instal

I've got the GSC 264's in now but have a 272 coming. Only 1 cam, anybody up for $100 to put it in for me? I'll help and have everything ready (valve cover off). Let me know!

Oh, yeah, if you want it to WORK, your $100 is best spent with someone more knowledgable. If you ever have $100 for someone to wash your windows or spray in some "Fix A Flat", just PM me.

I'm also looking into getting a SMC alcohol injection kit...how hard is that to install? I could probably do that on my own.

If you have basic mechanical skills it should be doable...

I've installed most of the parts on my car...just not the clutch, suspension, or engine internals. Alcohol injection looks pretty simple to instal, I just won't have it spraying until it gets tuned. Speaking of which, I'm probably the only one ready for another tune huh?

Should be no problem. Well I bet a few folks need tunes. I know I am always tweaking the tune...just waiting for that UTEC speed density upgrade

Looks like the alky kit is a pretty simple instal...the only help I'm going to need is the cam instal. Any takers (who have done it before)?

i need a new hydaulic tensioner release tool for the belts... it broke in my last cam install. that was a ***** to get out too. if i get one anytime soon i'd be happy to swap the cam for you (and if the valve cover is already off it makes it even easier).

I need cam gears installed, I could do it myself but I don't have the tool, I'd be willing to pay someone 50 to do it for me if they have the tool
