well if we do have to fly cut at least i can get rid of those crappy composite head gaskets that hate spray, and the springs and valve train will be much easier to install with the heads on the bench and id like to take a look at my lifters and upgrade them, after the over revs last year. ---

The cam install itself wont take long at all especially with no a/c. Fly cutting wont be hard just very time consuming. ---

That would be a really awesome race. 2 of the big cams gong at it. They are both proven to make great power up top and be great at the track. It would depend on whoever had the balls to rev it higher lol. ---
