Thanks, I have read a little about it and everyone with it seemed to be happy.

There was one person that told me to go with the MTI blower cam instead of the G5XB, anyone have any experience with it?

Also, will the 918 springs be ok or will I need to get some duals

I would buy it if I was convinced that was the cam I wanted. I just don't want to jump before I make a final decision unless it was an unbelievable price you know.

Thanks though.
