Mike,

What size R/T heads did you buy? Ported? I notice your cam has a 512/512 lift from Krammer.
What is the duration? Centerline? Do you have roller rockers? If so, what size? 1.6/1.7? Where is the sweet spot on that cam? What kind of idle does it have?

Sorry for all the questions :), but for $1700 I can get a head/Cam route Vs. the $3300 Supercharger route.

Anthony, I was supposed to get the 2.02 Ported & Polished R/T Magnum heads from KRC but instead he shipped me the wrong ones which were 1.92 non-ported & polished. Well since I had my engine apart and the new cam in I had to stick those on but I'm impressed w/ what those are doing for me now, I can't imagine what the 2.02's are gonna be like.

As far as the cam goes, I'm not sure about the duration I'll have to check the cam sheet I think its about 206/206 or somethin like that. And the cam was degreed in at 108.5...we advanced it more for a little more torque off the line but sacrificing a little top end but w/ the combo of the cam, heads, & M-1 I'm not worried about top-end. The guy that did work on my truck did his cam a year ago and he he first had it adjusted at what everyone on this site says to centerline it at..which was 114. Well he raced at the track, felt he could get more out of it so readjusted it to 110...took it back to the track and I guess he still wasn't happy then tried 107 which is what he's at now. After the computer learned the new changes he broke mid to low 13's naturally aspirated. On a 125 shot his best run was a 12.1 in the 1/4. So based on his experience w/ his truck we degreed mine in at 108.5, so far so good.

It really starts to bust wide open at 3000-3500 and man it pulls HARD. I had 1.6 RR's ready to put on when I installed everything but I didn't know KRC sent the studs seperately so I had to put the stockers back on. Too bad I don't know what the difference feels like between having heads & cam done compared to a SC, but I do know its worth it. Bobby Kammer is a good guy and knows what he's doing he'll set ya up w/ the best cam you can buy IMO.

Hoped that helped ya.
