You really have to take in to consideration what route your going to take. If you go big cams milling to much of the head will cause some problems in the future. Valve to piston clearance becomes an issue. Later on you might also have to worry about a floating valve.

arent you higher above sealevel than i am? :dunno:

did you get a flow test done b4 and after?

let me know about the specs.....i think ill be pp it also, and getting a cam gear. for the money, i hope ill be below a 15.4 though. my best is a 15.82 on H/E. so loosing .4 for a couple hundred bucks doesnt sound to good to me though.....but we will see...
