                jamacain. it was one a complete engine and transmission. and second of all. i have a lift at my house and have been doing this a long time. 1 day is reasonable.

                  just wondering b/c Gude is by me and they aren't big in cam grinds like they used to be.
                  How'd they add more lift? Weld the lobes? Or shrink the basecircle and use shims?

                  Stock crank on a FM stroker kit? No Moldex crank?

                  Teflon coating? not DFL?

                  I'd like to see pics b/c my BS meter is twitching.

                      yes i can spare money for the camera. however i have no real reason too other than to come on here and show off. whats the point really. every 50 spent on something that i dont need is 50 that i could put towards my mortgage or my cars.

                            Pics really wouldn't prove anything unless he took pics of the boxes and the products that came out of them. Will you spend at least 70-90 for a good dyno run? There would be the proof. But then again some ppl will still throw their bs flag up and say it might not be your dyno results unless you scanned the slip. I hope you do dyno it cause I would like too see how much that kit puts out just to see if its worth the 4k.
