But then, I'm old, and I've already done the cams and light flywheel on other cars. :-)

A long time ago when street racing was my main source of income my favorite phrase to hear was a competitor bragging about the big cam he had just installed in his car.
Adding 400cc to my Box S engine effectively made the original cams"smaller" & I don't regret that at all as HP doesn't fall off til 6900 rpm with the 3.6L
