The aluminum TB spacer with the arm is from ETP Heads. I made the little bracket that goes from there to the factory cable bracket.

Static is 12.48 and the DCR is 8.8, pistons are .002" down in the hole with 4cc reliefs. Combustion chambers are 62cc. I'm from the old school...I love compression, just don't love fuel at $7.50 per gallon.
