    Joe,

     I've been real happy with my Babe Erson cam that you and Jack
     had hardened for me a couple of years back... It's what Ken
     Gillanders calls his "autocross cam"... It's .55 lift with a 300
     duration (if memory serves, being away from my reference). It's
     not too lopey at idle (it likes about 11-1200), has a nice
     powerband lot's of grunt... Now that I have gone back to the
     standard ratio rear through my locker, I'm still please with its
     performance. So far the Ford GT40 sleeved lifters are doing just
     fine too... just make sure you locktite the sleeves in should
     you decide to use them.

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
