You're going to have to flycut that one. Be ready for it. Did you get my emails?

I would bet on it, yes! The only way to know how much cam you can run is going to be measuring your free valve drop, how far the valve travels from it's seat to either your piston or a flat table top. With that number, and knowing the stock numbers, we can tell approximately how much we can get away with!

Definitely listen to Matt. He helped me with my head/cam combo. He knows his sh*t & their mail order tune they did for me was dead on.
