Default The beast is alive!!!

And all I have to say is :eek: :eek: :eek: Chris did a GREAT job of picking out a cam to go with his incredible heads.. It needs a little tuning.. on the low end, there is a little hesitation, but it feels like some tuning will bring it out. Once I hit 2500 rpms though.. its INSANE how much she pulls!! Took 4 days, 1 all nighter, and a beaten to hell left thumb (hot manifolds and thumb knuckles dont agree), but it was DEFINATLY worth it. Pictures to come when I finally wake up.
