Well, got my cams last week and the wife was off so in go the cams! I have about 45 miles on them now but really haven't had a chance to open it up.... Seems like lower throttle performance is better though. Here are some random pics

Both valve covers off

And here are some snaps from one of my security cameras... If nothing else it's a rough time frame... although I really didn't work as hard as I could... I was kinda expecting some help ...er a visitor so I kinda stalled for some of it :p

Not really! I went ahead and removed the air compressor and pulled it forward and removed the top 2 bolts of the power steering pump and just loosened the bottom one so it could pivot to the right (in order to get to the timing sprocket bolt on the driver's cam). I think that was the only two things I really didn't see addressed in the instructions I had glanced over. I tried using some channel locks on the cams to loosen those bolts but it wouldn't work, so I used a breaker on the balancer (same for tightening them) as some others had reported and that worked great.

Thanks :) I wasn't willing to lose more low end by going to 206s. (I'm still waiting for Comp Cams to say they'll make us some real performance cams!! anyone that is not involved... GET involved! http://www.cpgnation.com/forum/4-7l-chrysler-dodge-cams-2620.html ) That is why I stuck with the HOs. I just got a new tune yesterday, and it seems to be doing pretty good so far. :woot: haven't had much chance to REALLY try it out much though :drive:
