yah pretty sure thats the last time i'll listen to him ... i figured he would know what hes talking about cuz hes had like 4 f bodys ... z06 ... now a cts-v .... all of them he modded up ...
when i was goign to change the spring in the oil pump i was pulling the pulley off and one of the lil things on the inside thats there for a pulley puller to hook too broke off .... and then i told him about it and he told me the pulley would be fine to put back on
A BALANCED PULLEY ... i said **** that and ordered a new one ...

Sure everyone can use the 7.4 and they may not notice the wrong preload and valvetrain geometry over the noise of the car with the big cam, that doesnt mean its still not wrong.

Even an XE lobed cam will require at least a 7.425 PR, so the MS cams which are on xe-r lobes i believe will need an even longer rod since the base is much smaller.

7.45's will work but may add a bit of lifter preload but not too much, that would be my choice if i had that cam.
