Guys I am not saying big is not good, if your referring to me. I am actually going to be running a cam similar to the 847. I was just misinformed about the stock heads thing. Simple mistake. I figure if your going to put a cam like that in, why not slap heads on, but some others dont feel that way.

I think they are talking about the other informers not you. You'll like that LE3/LE4 setup.

I know I cant wait to get it together. It seems like everything on gods green earth does not want it to happen. Everything has gotten in my way including hurricane ike. I am trying to clear out the garage, so i can access my tools if weather permits. Talk about frustrating!

I was just refering to how people read things on the internet and believe everything they see, just a vague statement.

1.6s. gotta stop looking at peak lift. its only there for a fraction of a fraction of a second. with 1.6s it is still at where the head flows best, longer.

I noticed you have 4.11s in your sig. remember when everyone was saying you couldn't do 4.10/4.11s in your automatic car because you would "run out of gear" in the 1/4? internet rumors are hilarious and sad at the same time.
