Hi,

Yes, I agree with all the cam stuff and C/R points.

What I should have added to my post was that if you jettison the stock
fed. spec. cam (either the 10-50/50-10 or the 18-58/58-18) and put in the
270 degree cam (part number 308778 25-65/65-25) with .340 lift, you'll be
happy with the results. Either that or go for a regrind with more like
.400 lift (and 270 degrees of duration) and you'll like the power.

The other point that I was trying to make is that the late-style rods are
a weak point that does not get much mention anywhere and that the solution
is simple - use the early ones.

regards,
rml
