You gonna flycut your pistons for that cam? No way I'd chance that cam with stock pistons without measuring everything first. I seriously doubt it'll have 80 thousanths clearance.

Slammed:

I hear you dude i am about to do the same thing but figure maybe i should just chill and start saving for my naturally aspirated 500rwhp 408 IronBlock Stroker with Solid Roller Cam:D or possible cerra racing single turbo with low compression and mega BOOST with 700rwhp at the flip of a switch.

Anyways, if i do upgrade to cam in the winter, the G5 LGM cam looks good and so does the F1 cam by Fastech. BOth are 112 LSa and very agressive and as large as you can go without flycutting pistons and by staying with 918 springs (single springs) which i have now and don't want to change.

Nitrovette

ps-I think its about time for you to get a time slip on that BEAST this Saturday at Byron.:D Are you in or what? Us A4 4000 stall Yank guys gotta stick together!

OH BUCKL:

Thats a big mystery that LOU G. is keeping confidential for whatever reason, but rumor has it that it is a 112 lsa with approx 230 exhaust and ..581 lift or so. Seems mighty tempting to me!:D
