Glad to hear its running well... we'd be a killer heads up! hehe
Im not sure, but i think my intake valve angle and bowl hog may be hurting my deal... we never flowed anything to see if it helped or hurt... cam seems to have hurt my engine a tad... it didnt do anything for powerband, but, it didnt seem to hurt torque... Im thinking of changing cam, back to my old one, but might make more sense to check heads first... Either way, 266/272 is alot of cam... My deal likes way less... It shows no more MPH, at 1/8 or 1/4 mile, so it has gained me no HP...I believe its slowed me near a tenth, but i picked some of that back up, in weight loss, and less HP drag, with the 350 trans...
