What's different about oiling system ? New camshaft ? Ran on dyno with new cam ?

This is a first class build ...my only disappointment is that whatever TOOL that was used to cut the rear carpet around the roll bar.....it needs to be retired....or better yet...send it to HP HUNTER ....

Took a trip to https://pstds.com/ in Clearwater this morning, they are great to deal with, helped me figure out what I needed and got it done real quick at a reasonable price. Thanks Ron@PST.
