ARE heads + T1 cam = satisfaction I got my ARE heads & T1 cam installed.After all that I went through to get my heads I was thinking that I would be disappointed.NOPE!!!!!we had the hotcam pulled & the T1 installed in no time(Thanks Tony for the cam choice).The next day the heads arrived.well 10.5 hours later the beast was running. we broke it in for about 500 miles. After that I tested her out 3rd gear at 6K the tires break loose. from a 45-100 punch(3rd & 4th gear) it is downright scary, above 4500RMP's it pulls incredabley hard.only problem is I keep getting EGR leaks. The cutout arrives mon. so I hope to get it installed right away to hear the compression & cam more. A lot of people in TN at the car show had cutouts & I could not beleave the difference.I still need to get it tuned & dynoed, it will see the track as soon as I get the new rearend.My only concern is I am not sure how high I can rev it & be safe.I don't want to throw a rod or spin a bearing. it pulls hard up to the rev. @6500(did it once) but I have made a practice of staying around 6 at shifting to play it safe(about 4-5 times).I hope to see mid 11's before the year is up. my brother raced a friends ninja that runs 11.4's all day & stayed with him from a 35 punch until he missed 4th(need to get the pro 5.0 out of the trunk & installed).All and all I am very happy

Re: ARE heads + T1 cam = satisfaction Sounds great Jerry, now better start saving for that 12 bolt. Give me a yell on IM,I want to talk to you about the tuning.
