how hard is it to install a cam???

well, since i've been told that raising my compression is a waste of time, i am now thinking of just getting the 3.4 and puttting in a cam and roller rockers........how hard is to install the cam when the engine is out of the car???? also on stock 3.4 pistons with some mileage on them can i run a lite shot of nitrous? if so, how much?

When the engine is out of the car it's very easy to install. Just be careful not to nik the cam bearings with the cam lobes or you'll have to have them changed.

You can run a light shot of nitrous on anything... as long as your fuel pressure's where it should be, and as long as you don't put the squeeze on every time you drive.
