Default Cam is done......video inside

I made this early this morning. Not the best quality but you guys just want to listen anyway. I'm going to try and get a better one tomorrow.

Sammy, it's still on the stands but going to be on the ground this morning. I'm curious to see if it was worth all the work or not.

Sure did.
I hope to get the heads redone this spring. I'll probably be using Lloyd Elliott for that because he's the one I bought the valve springs from so I'm a little ahead on the head price.

Link didn't work?

Yes I have thought about it. Mainly my wallet is telling me which way to go though.

I should be around 400 rwhp with Lloyds LEII package. If I get any higher than that I'm looking at a rear end change. May be looking at that anyway . I can get my heads done from Lloyd for a little over a grand plus shipping. Any decent new heads are about double that.
