I'm not talking about the cam

ok since nobody could answer me I searched for myself... and found it. This is why I'm so confused. How are you only making 309rwhp out of one of these?

ok... THAT makes more sense now...

I guess it's just that I've never heard of an "el toro" cam before... just the motor...

I wonder if the SS will be as quick as your PT. I kinda wish I would of gotten the PT, because the SS's STR is so high.
that was with some mickeys. i want to get back down there and play with the launch some. i was cutting 1.7's. i think it can do better than that.
