When the engine was rebuilt, this was the closest cam to original specs that could be found according to Total Engine in Bloomington, MN. Can't be all bad as in stock configuration other than a bore increase, distributor recurve and carb magic by Eric it produced 475 horse and 483 ft lbs of torque. I called them and asked them about these settings. He suggested warming the engine and checking all the clearances the way they were set currently. Make sure they are all consistant with each other and none were way off which could point to a lobe issue. He also suggested setting them at .012-015 saying that you will increase low end power at .015 but lose some on the top end. I am not sure it really matters on this engine as it is not driven much anyway.</div></div>
Just curious Rick, headers or exhaust manifolds? Would you mind sharing where it peaked??

Thanks for the input. No complaints with the cam being different than the original LS6 [I think I can suffer with only 475 hp
]. I just wanted to be sure that such a different lash setting was correct.
I followed the EOIC method and have the driver side done. Most were in the .012-.013 range, though a few were more loose than that. The adjustment went well and pretty quick and I double checked them. The hardest part was getting the bump-switch connected to the starter when the engine is hot. Taking it back out now to warm it up again for the other side.
Thanks again,
Dennis</div></div>
Cool...I actually snag the wire on the firewall, where it's covered by the wire gutter. I betcha before long you'll be able to do it in your sleep!
