Attempted to start the car and break in the cam, only to get kicked in the teeth once again. I haven't stuck a gauge on it, but it has little to no compression after the cam swap. I've been in contact with the cam company, and now have to jump through hoops to get this mess sorted out.

I'm about out of patience and sanity at this point. It's a damn good thing I don't drink anymore... my liver would be crying for help.

Been over everything. I am certain this is an issue with the cam. Going to get some numbers for them tomorrow. I had over 180 psi with the other cam. (187-188 psi)

I usually not a big fan of aftermarket wheels but I have to say you know how to pick them....love the wheels you got on the Vette and can't wait to see what these look like on the Chevelle.
