i like the cam specs little bit weird but i like it. imo you don't wont a big cam, you lose velocity with a big cam which is absolutely key to making power.

Very interesting cam specs...at first glance it seems like something you've seen before just by looking at the duration and lift, then you notice the 108 LSA and do a double-take. That's going to be the deal breaker/maker...like you said, it's all about the overlap

I would advise a progear timing set - Ask Ed to sell you one.

Neither........ It's just nice to talk to someone intelligent for once when it comes to planning an engine build. Are you looking for a man? There are plenty in your area. http://dallas.craigslist.org/cgi-bin...i?category=m4m
