Just got my swap done not to long ago. It was a up hill battle with all the problems of my first swap. I had to pull my y7 out due to a rod knock. I bought the swap off craigslist witch I'm not going to do again. Turns out that the head the motor came with was fucked up. And the trany grinds in 3rd gear at high rpms. Lucky for me I had a spare ls head at my house. It was a pain but I think the ls was worth it.

ALSO BIG THANKS TO EDDIE FOR ALL YOUR HELP also I can't forget to thank Brandon, Petro, and John.

Specs
B18B with B20 cams
B16 trany



I'll post pics later

No I haven't really heard about haveing to mess with ur ecu because of diffrent cams. But if u do get cams then it's not a big deal because when u boost it they will mess with ur ecu to make sure everything is running good.
What cams where u thinking About getting?

shouldn't have to re-tune unless you go with a really aggressive cam setup.

Crower Stage 1.

A buddy of mine had them and they pulled pretty damn good.
