Yeah man.
My vehicle is at the tuner getting prepared.
I am changing gaskets too to some thicker ones to lower compression to 12:1.1 from 13:1.1
He could not get enough timing in at 13:1.1 with previous camshaft.
I also contacted cam motion about the stroker king camshaft and the recommended compression.
I was told that if you go over 12.0 you won't really see any gains and you may have timing issues too. And this is with 26 degrees of overlap.
I should have an update some time this week.
Looking forward to seeing how this solid roller will do.

Manley does say these raceflo valves are good up to 8000rpm.
Probably.
But you went solid roller right? I wouldn't do hollow-stem with solid rollers. You're increasing weight and spring pressure to control the valve. And you want a solid stem valve to handle that added valve spring pressure.

Lucky I went with the solid stainless after all then.
I talked to MAST and SPS about it. Both said to use solid stem. MAST recommended I upgrade to the Ti valves since they are lighter than the hollow-stem and considerably more expensive... but solid stem can be controlled easier in a solid roller application than hydraulic. You still want to minimize weight, but not at the expense of durability.

We been talking about future plans on his br3 270 cc port. It will be titanium 2.20 valve size when he releases them
