Needless to say I am smiling from ear to ear. Track results coming this weekend.

Big time thanks to Kurt, Patrick and Jeff. You guys rock.

Congrats on the pick-up Coach!

I did a 35 rwhp gain from a small solid cam to a decent solid roller in the Nova's upgrades. Not cheap mind you, but a good gain for the $$.

Anxious to see if the car drives different down the track. Power comes on hard in the mid-range and keeps on pulling.

No track times today. The weather got us. We hope to race tomorrow(Sunday 3-15-09). If we race tomorrow, I will run both Top Et & N/E to get more runs on the new set up.

my thoughts too. ive seen this done a few times now.
i hear the solid roller lobes are a lil less agressive, but obviously still make the power.
any truth?
