I tore the motor down to get the numbers off my cam, found a few issues that may have been holding me back..
Lifters were too small, only had the 1.050" "stock" lifters in there cam guy says I probably lost a hp or two and a couple lbs of torque by not having the wide base...also noticed a little blow thru on the head gasket to head interface, think I was loosing a little compression there, so I'll be using a new/different better flowing head with smaller CC and new coper gasket...also due for some new rod bearings before they cause trouble with the crank...
Had to order bearings so broke down and ordered a new cam lifter spring set as well...I will be doing 8,500+ on the line and 7+ down the track yet this year...I'll miss the pull this weekend, but should have it back together for the next one on the 27th.. Now we'll be getting somewhere...
