Keep trying, you will get where you want to be.

IF it rains out Saturday, im pretty sure im gonna start ripping down , to put smaller cam back in... No matter what i do, otherwise, the engine liked the other cam better... i dont know if the heads are a factor, or what, but, i show absolutely no gain in HP, actually, i probably lost 10-15 and gained it back with trans swap and 30# weight loss...
