As long as you have WMI going you should be ok, but it will still be costly to drive. Also shaving the heads to get to that compression is going to bring the valves painfully close to the pistons, make sure you upgrade the valve train.

KS isn't as far as CA, LOL, have had people come out from there for thier builds. As long as all the parts were in hand we could assemble the engine together in 1-2 days and another day to swap it in.

I would just use 07 TLS cams until someone actually makes a good re-treated set of cams that are going to last longer than 10K miles........

any reason why you say 07 or did you mean 07/08 Type S.....

I know Andy has been running Bisi Stage 2 Cams....he had the same cam on his Base and now his Type S....think he has 5K-10K miles on em (not sure)....

well good to know

I don't like the fact that they are only "coating" the cams, webcams use to do that and they would never last longer than 50K, coatings crack and chip and once they do the end comes quickly. There is a reason every MFG out there goes thru a extensive treating/hardeneing process on cams even if they then do coat them after the treating process.......

All while keeping everyone on the forum in the loop throughout each step. Gotta love it
Sick dude I can't wait. That's funny though, some people just need to get on the ball
