How'd you like the HOTcam with the stock 853's? Did you have to make any other modifications to run that cam?
I'm wanting to throw a cam in over the winter and admittedly I want it more for the awesome lopey sound than to make big power since mines just a weekend cruiser.

It was a set of 243 that I sent in for the stage 2 port job with the larger valves, they also installed a set of BTR .660 dual platinum springs I sent along with the heads. Going in with these heads is a 230/234 .630/.612 112+2 cam specced by Martin and some Johnson 2110R lifters. They are replacing stock 853 heads and the GMPP HOTcam.
In other news, My new tails that I just sealed up continue to let water in. Had a few ounces in there today when I pulled it off. Probably just going to drill a few holes in the bottom of it and call it a day.

sorry I was walking and accidentally posted it before I finished typing. yes plug and play, there are 2 paired wires that have the same connection as the filiment bulbs. You plug them into the socket's and the housing has the same openings to insert the socket and twist lock them in place. literally took me 3 minutes once I found the right sized torque bit. the fit is excellent but the finish im a little dissapointed in. If I dont tint it ill probably just spray the top of it to black that part out then Id be content

Very nice! When I finally go through my build I'm looking at something similar so I'd love to hear it when you get her running.
