Default Thanks VA Speed
A big thank you to Shawn and the guys at VA Speed. I was able drive in bumper to bumper on I-64 without incident in 90+ degree heat. The little 402 makes great torque across the power band. Great cam choice Shawn. Also a big thank you to Mike (AlohaC5) for the ride down to pick up the car.

My build was very mild and budget minded compared to yours. Somehow Shawn found 467 pounds of torque even with the 205's and 90/90 restriction.

I think the way 64 narrows into 2 lanes is plain stupid for the volume on the road.

I try to keep conversations with Shawn,WKMCD and Phil to a minimum so I don't spend money I don't have. Simply talking to those guys and you want more power.

When I talked to Kevin, it was too late....the damage was done . Shawn is the one I blame for his "suggestions". I'm not talking to ANYONE else until its done!

Kevin,
Once he moved to Florida I stopped paying attention to him. I needed to get over my case of cubic inch envy. I guess the 402 will have to be a substitute for a 427.
