Anyone want to help with the install?
I wish I could just slap a cam in mine. I would if I could.

Should be a good combo. There's a guy from RGV that ran 13.2 with that cam in a 4.8.

naw, i think this one will be pretty sweet! Who knows I may go bigger later on.... Selling cams on this board is pretty easy, so the swap does not cost much... Tuning should be fun......

Actually i just got the idea around 5:00 today, did some searching and found one i liked....

Yours comes up to 4*.... You have to calculate it... BTW when are you going to move on to a bigger cam????
