The springs can be run safly upto .480 bind at .500

Fed if your springs are rated as I think yes you
can run the 1.7 ratio it would be aprox

208/214 .512/.520 at 114 LSA
212/218 .552/.570

advertised around 262/278
My first sroker motor has a 268/272 ,480

I would defenitly check piston to valve clearance
exhaust at least .100 intake .080

Anyway fedral mogal says it is an active number
and does plan on making more but does not know
when this will happen


My cam is sitting in summits warehouse right now
will not ship until next week

I will post the resaults if I get it wensday as
I think it will be in and running by the weekend

I tried to deal with Sam on a cam first no answers
to my emails and would not return my calls so I
said screw him I don't deal with people that can
not even return calls

He used to be a great guy I don't know what is
going on with him these days
