Ahhh, that explains it. Sounds like a good plan, can't wait to see the results.

good luck, you probably dont even have to change any of the valvetrain if you already have shims on it.

I have Comp 977's with YT Rockers and Comp R lifters. I should be in good shape. My current cam had a lift of over .600 now. Should be an easy swap out...

yea that should be fun. im thinking the results would be the same as last time.

just messing with ya, it a totaly different ball game now. traction becomes a much bigger issue than last time we met. good luck with the car scott, you better start thinking harder about that new rear you didnt want to buy
