Great choice on going with a CI cam! 

Thanks for posting up your cam card from Jay.  What I like about his information is:  Duration specs at 4 points not just at .50.  Spring pressure open and closed.  Cranking commpression.  Recommended shift points and maximum RPM.

Notice the negative overlap?

For those who will pull out a cam companies catalogue think to compare an OTS: don't bother, it won't have any where near the information for an accurate comparison.

Installing Jay's stuff is easy too, you don't have to hassel with a degree wheel to make sure it's installed propertly.  Just check lift at TDC.  I've put in three, all were spot on.

I see you went billet core as well.  I wouldn't go any other way!

When you get it running you'll pleased.

It's just the added things that I wanted to do do my cat for the winter, I have not accomplished any of it yet.
Whats holding you up Bob? I hope not the hood.

Nothing really holding me up parts wise. Just time, I still have to finish the one spring in the front and put the front brakes back together, bleed the system and thats it. Than order a scoop for the hood. I'm in no rush, sometime in March I'll be done

Any body looking for a E-cam? Springs next, then put the new cam in.I picked a bad weekend to do this outside rain for the next 2 days, so far holding off.
