Very nice numbers! Got any video of the dyno run? I'd love to see/hear it.

Good swap on the cam. Bet that torque curve was real broad?

Very cool!:burnout:

Ken,any reason for not going up a touch on duration also?Those engine seem to really like the 230-236 range along with the added lift?Tom

I wanted to keep it all stock with a smooth idle. Tightening up the lobe center already added overlap.
