damn man, its a good thing you sniped that motor from me!!

Mine is still on the garage floor and I still need to take the heads to the machine shop to get the header bolts out and fix the header bolt hole that I destroyed trying to get a broken bolt out of. Im curious to see what this motor does on the dyno.

So a little boost might actually help?

I think so. I've built 4 fresh motors over the years. None FI. but after 50 miles to seat the cam with varying rpms, they saw no mercy. No problems. I think I remember reading an article somewhere in an HP mag of some sort where they followed the two schools of thought and engines that saw high cylinder pressures seated rings better.

Drive it hard IMO.
