already have PR's. ive got a full bolt-on cam only ride, but going with more cubes 
One of the first questions I asked was about that. They said they drill them when they get them. Ill make sure they did before they ship it though..anything else?

Eventually you just get fed up with it and throw down to play with the big boys.

Piece of a broken valve from my stocker (cam installed two teeth off) somehow made it's way into the new 370 via the intake manifold. It got lodged up in there and when i transferred it over to the new engine there was no rattling in it. Then, on the dyno when we took it to almost 7k the vacuum pulled the piece into the #8 cylinder and scarred the wall up. It was already bored .060 over so I was screwed. I salvaged what internals I could and just bit the bullet for the 408.

damn...sucks! im gonna try to clean and inspect everything!! my only concern is my cam. its a f13 and i dont know if its one of the bad batches. I wont know till i pull it out the motor though. gonna see what i can work out with FMS if it is messed up so I dont have to wait weeks for a replacement.
