Talked to Shawn my BFF today, motor should be ready to be picked up next thrusday than we can thrash getting it back in. So I asked him "Hey, did you change anything" followed with a "Yep", well........ you going to tell me... "Nope, I can tell you its going to make more power and you better hold the f**k on". I laughed...We're still trying to figure out where to put these 2 10# tanks.

jesus you guys read too much into stuff, they are fire suppression tanks. I took them out when I relocated the intercooler.

I figured ya went to a bigger tank for the air shifter/boost control, other one was a fire extinguisher.

The nitrous was a joke..... I hope noone took that serious.

Yeah, we got a new tuneup, Shawn and I talked more about the cam today, should spool faster, be better at high RPM and easier on the valvetrain. We're going to do a test session here in the next week/10 days to see where we're at.

Shawn is the only person that can answer that, the old cam max RPM from the grinder was 7600, this one is well into the 9k range.

the purpose of the cam change is not to gain overall power(we haven't used all we have now)is to gain power in certain ranges and to make more power with less boost.

The overall goal is to gain reliability-we want this thing to stay together when start leaning on it.

Hmmm, did not know that 9K RPM and "reliable" went hand in hand?

Don't take it anymore than a lil' morning humor is all guys...
