    I told you we would disagree on the cam selection.
    On a BBC I like to run more head and less cam.

    If you are looking at custom cams they will want to know what your intake to exhaust ratio is on your cylinder heads.
    At least I would anyway.

    Yes,they do like the .750 area but I try and cut this back some.
    My customers don't like it when I tell them the Isky Tool Room valve springs will cost them around $450 for the good ones or we could put the cheap ones in for $300.

    Pat,this sounded great until you brought Ohio into the picture.
    For I-beam rods I would not be afraid to try the new Callies/Compstar I- beam rods.
    You see,I told you we would not agree on everything
