I’ve had my Camaro for about 2 years now. 2010 SS auto. I’ve been eyeing that TSP CAM kit with DOD and VVT delete. I’ve been scared to pull the trigger mainly bc I felt like I would need someone else to install it and it would run me about another 2500 dollars on top of the 1300 dollars for the cam kit. But now I’ve decided I’m going to do it myself. Definitely a project for either summer 2022 or 2023. In no rush but I want to address that problematic lifter issue with the automatic SS Camaros as soon as possible. Loved the video hopefully you still have the Camaro.
@@nalley6815hell no 😭life keeps getting in the way, but I did buy the cam kit. Just needing a bigger stall which I’ll be ordering soon but I decided not to do it myself bc there’s no step by step guide I’ve been able to find. I’m good with tools and I’m not afraid to dig in but I don’t like digging in blind specially when it comes to my motor. So as of right now I’m just missing the torque converter the ATI DAMPNER an oil pump and a timing chain bc why not replace it while I’m in there. Just saving up some money on the side to pay someone to take care of it and tune it
@@MysticShot I can understand that 100%. I’ll at least try to fix anything but I do NOT like tearing shit apart when I’ve never done it before and especially when there’s no one with me that’s done it before. But I can relate. I kept telling myself I’d have a 2000hp drag and drive car by 2023. Now I’m telling myself I’ll have a 2500hp drag and drive car by 2025 😂😂 hopefully will have a rolling chassis by the end of this year if I can get good on a tig welder…..
Sameeee. That made me very nervous. To each their own. It ain't my motor. But personally. I'd shove something in the to catch the lifters if it were to fall. That's a 2$ dowel for the time and money to pull the heads. 😂
Faster way to do springs is using air. One thing to warn ppl is to not have to much hope in the lifters staying up in the trays with the cam out so make sure they have it prepped because then what happens if a lifter drops.. Well yeah not fun afterwards. But best to take precautions.
Sounds bu....ti.... ful! 🤩🥳 I have gotz to catch-up! Still have to do catts n cold air intake upgrades but looking for cams now! I appreciate the video! 2ss 14 Camaro!
No dod delete needed? My 2020 has proven to be a real pain. I did the tsp stage 2 with vvt delete due to the lift and 1:8 roller rockers. Piston valve clashing would suck.
Comp cam spring compressor does 2 valves at the same time. How are you keeping the valves up? Looks like that blue point box is almost all that you need. Ive got the same. Good for portability. Great video.
Hello I wanna say that your car sounds dope!!! I wanna know what engine is your camero? And also what cam or exhaust did you use to make a sound like that I have a 2018 Dodge charger SXT that is a 3.6 L V6. Will my charger sounds like that? What did you install besides the cam if I want to sound like yours? And those are legal right? By the way, great video!!!
Hey first thanks it is a 6.2l v8 he did the cam and valve springs along with muffler deletes and we hollowed out the cats and that is how we were able to get that sound
@@DREAMS2REAlITY Is there like a specific name for the cam or the exhaust you use? If so what cam, exhaust and mufflers should i use. Do you think it will sound great if I did it to a V6 charger? I know I’m asking too many questions I’m just not good with parts
@lorenzo Trinidad yes it was the tsp bald eagle cam for n/a and it was stock exhaust just had muffler delete and hollowed out cats. As far as your car it it pretty much impossible to make a v6 sound like a v8 but in all honesty it only matters what you like and what you think its your car man you do you
@@DREAMS2REAlITY I’m hoping and praying I didn’t pinch the pickup tube o ring lmao cars been sitting a week now haven’t had much time to tinker with it, just need to put the radiator and intake back in, top off fluids and do the first start
Yes he did replace the push rods because the was changed and the stock ones would no longer work. As far as the springs it is a very good idea and I wouldn't recommend doing the cam with out doing them as well
If you spin the cam it will seat the lifters up in trays with no resistance to push them down they will stay up. I do recommend using dial rods tho chris just choose not to .
Yes it is very important to have the car tuned after a cam installation especially but not a bad idea after any kinda of aftermarket parts are added to be able to optimize the effectiveness of the new parts. Also don't be scared of tuners just do some research on local business with actual reviews its not scary there job is literally to make your car better 😉
Akatsukimaro honestly with the upgraded springs and it being NA I don't see that you would really have a need to be changing them periodically. But I could be wrong
After so many miles ,probably 60k or 30k , it is recommended to remove one spring set and test it out and see if there is any changes when compressing it . But being a.600 lift it should last a lot miles
Great 4ever its not the most difficult thing in the world to do if you know your way around an engine but can be frustrating at times but if your confident go for and give it a try. I'll be here if you need any help
@@daviddthomas3830 depending on what kinda car you are wanting to get tuned. I am looking to use usm tuning for my rx7 here in the next month or so. There are some other really good shops in the area. If you tell me what you have ill find out what the best place is
If you have time and patience and are somewhat mechanically inclined you can definitely do it its not super hard just taking bolts out and replacing a few parts then putting bolts back in. I believe in you and like I always say its only a dream until YOU make it a reality.
Even if it was daddy's money, isn't the goal to become successful that you can pass it down to your kids. You sound like a miserable hater.... nice work D2R

The sweet sound of a cam chopping can't wait till I get mine
I was sweating when you started pulling the cam out without the dowels.
If one lifter were to fall that would ruin the weekend haha
Sameeee. That made me very nervous. To each their own. It ain't my motor. But personally. I'd shove something in the to catch the lifters if it were to fall. That's a 2$ dowel for the time and money to pull the heads. 😂
If the trays can't hold the lifters they are worn to the point of needing replaced anyway.
Looks like a perfect time to do a header install. Nice and easy access to the bolts.
Thank you for this. Looks much easier than I expected. Now I'm confident.
Thanks for the video 🤘🏼 blew a roller lifter and gotta replace my TSP Cam, lifters, rocker bearings, oil pickup tube, pressure sensor… fun stuff!!

Good job sounds good
Sounds awesome. Need to do this to mine now.
I just installed those tsp springs on my camaro last weekend. I want to get a cam and new rockers next.
You should definitely do it it really makes a huge difference in the car!!! Really wakes it up 👍👍👍👍 @Edward Hoga
ITS ONLY A DREAM UNTIL YOU MAKE IT REALITY FACTS

Just make sure the cylinder your taking the spring off is at top dead center they won't drop
Your car still running? Noticed you didnt swap the timing chain damper
His car dose still run very well as a matter of fact
Thing sounds nasty bud 👌🏽
Thanks man he really likes it and it dose sound amazing
Yep I'm getting one

Sounds really good Chris. Great video this time. LMK when you're coming to get it tuned, I'd like to come see.

Is there a way to prime the oil system before first startup? Just wanting to make sure I don’t do all this work to break something
You can pack the oil pump with some oil safe grease or remove the coils and turn the car over to build oil pressure without starting the car

Dammmmmnnn❤
Did you change the pushrod length or use the stock ones? do you have to change springs or did you just want to?
Yes he did replace the push rods because the was changed and the stock ones would no longer work. As far as the springs it is a very good idea and I wouldn't recommend doing the cam with out doing them as well
How did you keep the lifters up without using dial rods
If you spin the cam it will seat the lifters up in trays with no resistance to push them down they will stay up. I do recommend using dial rods tho chris just choose not to .
How to know what cam to get to make the choppy sound
Hey did you have to use a non vvti cover for the swap?
It is a ls3 so it doesn't have vvt in the cover. Only the automatic have that.
Hey I have a quick question so after a cam, longtube header, cai, and full exhaust upgrade, do I get a dyno tune? How does that work?
I'm scared to go to a tuner because I dont know anything about tunes
Yes it is very important to have the car tuned after a cam installation especially but not a bad idea after any kinda of aftermarket parts are added to be able to optimize the effectiveness of the new parts.

I have a 2020 Camaro ss auto, can I put a stage 2 cam in without changing the heads or porting them
how often would you swap the valve springs with this cam?

After so many miles ,probably 60k or 30k , it is recommended to remove one spring set and test it out and see if there is any changes when compressing it .
But being a.600 lift it should last a lot miles
Not sure if i missed it what size cam is this ?
Tsp does give you the exact size but is over .600 inches of lift.
What’s the stage on the cam, sounds good
It's the TSP stage 2 cam
Is this easy to do yourself ?
Great 4ever its not the most difficult thing in the world to do if you know your way around an engine but can be frustrating at times but if your confident go for and give it a try. I'll be here if you need any help
Can anyone tell me what exaclty I’m supposed to get I’m confused and I have a 2010 camaro Ss
I'm not sure what it is your asking 🤔. Could you be a bit more clear with your question and I can do my best to help you.
@@DREAMS2REAlITY as in apart from the cam what parts do i need
I'm thinking about getting this .. how much hp gain?
With the combination of the cam and full exhaust and intake his car made 491hp at the wheels.
Did you do lifters?
No I don’t believe he did just cam and valve springs
