cam
springs,
push rods,
oil pump,
and changed the rockers back to the stock 1.75's
but other than that it is the same
I am even basically running the tune for the smaller stock cam.
just had the idle changed to allow it to run, and what not.
kinda of a blind tune

I will get back with you on that.
Let me get it tuned and I will make my decision then.
but as of right now I am happy, but yet still cautious


Mac -
once I get the rod bolts changed, and a few other things I will be looking at 6500+ rpms. I really think this cam would really come alive above 6500
I gained 3mph just by shifting above 6100., and it still is pulling when I shift.

How did you and Mr.Destine fair running against each other?
I didnt get to see much of the runs, I was either trying to figure the tune out or I was talking to the guys about what the could, and wanted to do
Hey next time I will make sure that we meet each other. and we are not seperated by abunch of trucks:
I just get so tied up in talking with everyone, that I miss a few people that I would like to chat with.
see ya there next time
I ran with TJ when I first got there, took him out. Think he was kinda pissed about not being about to get me with his programmer.

Your truck sounds bad ***, you ought to really get it down the track when you have your cam dialed in.

Flyer...........looks like you are having fun with your trannie install, keep at it. It will be worth it in the end.

Storm, I raced 3 chevys out there, nope I don't have a billet gas door. That would ruin my "sleeper" look. LOL

Y'all had a real good turn out........Can't wait till next time.
