Default HPE Does it again!

After a long debate, I decided to take the plunge and do the cam. Dropped the car off on Wednesday with bent pushrods and about 320 rwhp, and after 1 1/2 days, left with 396rwhp(an extra gust of wind would have put me over 400!). Went with the new HPE "C" cam and an awesome tune by Chuck! So thanks again to the team at HPE, ill be back soon for more goodies!

MODS are in sig...
