I don't know much other than tuning for cams is a bitch. Only reason i haven't seriously considered them yet.

Not 100% true on the tuning part. I've built two LSJs that had 0 issues idling/stalling with cams with the same exact tune prior to build. Neither one had to get retuned for cams at all besides your basic MAF and PE.

Depends on the car and what tune you have now.

you have to contact gm i believe they are all gone now as they were a limited release in may. You could ask around for the grind though and have a company do it for you.

Jbody performance can set you up. If you haven't swapped them before I don't suggest you do it yourself. Plus from what I know the gains are modest from changing (maybe 5-10).

Have them do the install too...trust me on this.

J-Body Performance is located in Canada. And if you get their cams, DON'T get their valve springs. Order Valve Springs from OTTPerformance.com...

The whole point of getting the GM-R cams is so you don't have a set of base circle regrinds...
