> [@rickoner"](#): > > so your telling me that changing the cam profile (which is exactly what happens) will not affect a tune in anyway? that makes no sense at all. if your theory was true, you could slap any type of cam in a stock engine and it’ll run like it was designed without any tuning? BS. the cams are out of time and now fuel is dumping out of the exhaust. imagine that. chris double check the compression and do a leak down test. when that’s confirmerd good, pick up some cam gears. (and studs) or what i would have done n the first place, a stock gasket and studs. good luck buddy. Thats exactly what im telling you. I’ve been doing this for a good while now, been there, seen that. Now, im not saying that changing your compression ratio and cam profiles isn’t going to need tuned. It indeed will need fine tuned for optimal power. Though, the car will still run like its previous setup. … in the mean time, i’ll wait to see what chris has to say. ---

I recommend and use it with MLS gaskets if you aren’t having the block and head decked. It just helped to seal any small, small imperfections in the surface. I’ve ran and built several cars using MLS gaskets with copper spray and no decking, and they’ve all ran great/produced great compression numbers. ---
