Another good article for gear heads.

that is a great read, it shows again the importance of valve train rigidity and head improvements, hard to believe the 50-60 cc chamber volume but raising the camshaft and how it effects the valve train is interesting
thanks for posting....

Most of the ProStock engines are running cams that net 1.200" + valve lift these days. .800" is old-technology.
