As promised, I will be posting the cam install on a 2009 G8GT A6. This was a previous customer and dynoed 351 rwhp with headers, CAI, UDP and tuning. Worked on the G8 for few hours and replaced the AFM Valley Cover with a standard LS2 Valley Cover. Should have the heads pulled and the lifters are being replaced with LS7 Lifters. Also, replacing the L92 Intake Valves with the Hollow Stem LS3 Valves.

The cam for this project will be the Livernois Stage 1C Cam (218/229 0.600"/0.600" 117.5 LSA).

I assume I also have to mark the positions of the shock assembly before I remove it so that things will stay relatively aligned after reassembly. But anyone have any experience or tricks they would like to pass along? I've been searching forums for days trying to find some actual "how too" threads.
Thanks for your time,

A closer look revealed various stress cracks in the intake vents of the hood areas along with some nicks, light scratches, marring and other blemishes on the body panels.

After some product combination testing, I used a LC 5.5" PFW buffing pad and Megs M105 with a Shurhold DA polisher. This gave me the cutting power the remove the vast majority of blemishes quickly.

Once satisfied with the surface compounding, I switched to the gray 6.5" LC finishing pad and worked Megs M205 polish to remove any marring caused by the M105/purple combo.
