So im guessing for a cam 6.1 cam swap it would be a little less complicated, and why two changes of oil?

For the 6.1 you wouldnt need the custom tunes AFR or Diablo. You could keep and use the SC

2 oil changes because once you get everything installed and put back together you would break in the cam, then change oil again and leave that oil in to drive with

Just FYI, if you ever change gears, you would do two oil changes there also

As for tuning on the '04 model, SCT or Diablo. Superchips won't get you running to the optimum as either of the other two when it comes to cam tuning. I do sell/tune both units

IMO, changing a cam is easy.
