Actually I'll seriously think about purchasing that. I'm already thinking about ordering a bigger cam. That'd definitely save some time. Especially if I had to swap out the big stick for a stocker for smog. I wish Nate would hurry up and get his cam in and see what his setup does! I'm ready to buzz this bitch to 6500+ [Big Grin]

Looks like a neat tool...from my understanding on an LS1 cam swap the lifters have little retainers you can push them up into...from what ive heard is you just put a bolt in the end of the cam and spin it around and it pushes all the lifters up and they stick up there...when you reinstall you just push the lifters down with the pushrods...supposed to be an intake removal free process...I have yet to do a cam in an ls1 yet so I cant say for sure whether this is true or not...just hear-say....makes life much easier...

I pity the man that accidentally drops a lifter in during this process.
