Default TSP .231/.237 is in

Today me and a couple of my buddies finished putting my cam in. Man those vavle springs really suck. If it wasn't for my friend with the poppie arms I don't know how we would have done it. Well it sounds pretty beast. The first time I cranked it didn't start but the next time it fired up. I had to give it a little gas but it wasn't to bad. But it idled pretty good for a couple of mintues and then I had to give it a little more. But other then that it idled pretty good. Now I just need to get it tuned and pump that rev limiter up and see what she really can do. I hope I can get near 400 to the wheels. Hopefully next week I will get some dyno numbers.

Well I just got back from my first drive. It never stalled but man it likes to buck. I went into a parking garage and had it in 2nd. and it started bucking real bad so I had to down shift to 1st. But all that should be taking care of after I get it tuned. Also has soon has I get some dyno numbers I'll post them on here.
