The RC nitro will work fine. He's wanting a one time shot down the strip for 10k.

Neither,I use valve checking springs on a couple holes. and bring the engine to T.D.C. and turn the rocker adjusting nut down at the same time I have a dial indicator on the rocker to check travel.Lobe lift times rocker arm ratio determines the lift.I max out the lift and then run it down another .060 on the intake and .080 on the exhaust if they don't make contact I am good to go.If I do make contact then it is fly -cutting time.I like to run .080 on the exahust and .060 on the intake for the clearance. Where do you find plasti-gauge that is thick enough?? P.S. I use peanut buttter on my sandwich.
