OK idiot, he was pointing out the fact that you have no idea what you're talking about...you DONT need 1.88 rr if you're selecting a new camshaft, because you would just choose one that has the additional lift...Way to look like a complete dumb ***
Looks like Fixed Roof ******** has left the forum. Don't let the door hit ya in the azz on the way out.

I have Yella Terra 1.7s, a Futral 228/230 cam and 5.3 TEA Stg 2s with comp 987s spun to 6,700 without problems. 15k miles on the H&C.

I got my MTI Stage II E heads, MTI G1 cam for $1,990 shipped. $700 for the install. $60 for the dyno time (unlimited upgrades w/ my tuner) at CAM in Durham, NC.

IMO, if you are gonna run any head and cam package, go with some comp 921's, decent cam, good afr heads...stay away from the 1.85 rockers. go with a 1.7 shaft mount. i gained 1 hp from my rockers on a h/c combo and lost torque...just not worth the extra money.

That's what I call a Fair Deal!
