    2012 Regal GS cam swap

    Has anybody swapped cans on the turbo LHU? I'm looking to get the ZZP intake cam, but I want to know what it takes to swap it. Does the timing chain need to come off or does the shaft just unbolt from the cam gear? Does the engine need to be retimed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
