    I didn't even know that stuff existed.

    Thanks Tech Inspector. I'm going to scope out a new to me speed shop anyway next Tuesday.. See if they can get em.
    Got lots of chrome,
    It's good for show,
    But when I hit the gas,
    The pig won't go!

    What I like to do is install the cam "straight up" advance it two degree's and make a pass or dyno pull.
    Did the car 60 foot better or worse?
    Did it mph or et better or worse??
    On the dyno did it change the power-band?
    Did it make more hp or torque.
    I keep doing this until the mph or et changes.
    Same way on the dyno.
    When playing with cam timing always make sure you have enough piston to valve clearance.
