Yea, i was thinking that. Im going to see how much i can do with a stock engine. I know a couple of businesses that do cam grinding etc, it was around $60 to regrind an 8 lobe cam, i think that if i cud get the duration, lift etc from say a takagawa cam i could a stock cam reground to a similar shape for $60 instead of $250.

The cam will come after the head work, when you were porting did you try the engine before choking the port and after? Was there much diff?

Does shaving the head affect the timing chain? 2thou sounds like F.A... did it even affect teh comp?
