Listen to who is helping you and not a bunch of speculators. I like to hear advice as well. but at the end, listen to who is putting the combo together. Bob seems real sharp from reading his posts.

Bob is definately the man when it comes to this stuff. He has held my hand and guided me through the process. He recomended I change pistons in order to accomidate the cam, rather than change the cam to accomidate the pistons. I plan to do as he says, but I can't afford it cash and time wise for this season. If I try to rebuild me current motor, I won't be able to go boating this year. So I will use my old motor for this season and use the heads I just bought on it for now, while I piece together a new motor. I want to use the new AFRs because I hate to have spent the money on the heads only to have them sit for a year.

I am going to buy a cam from Bob, but he advised that he would have to adjust it so much to compensate for the hi c/r that the performance would be compromised. My plan is to buy the cam from him for the new motor, so there is no handicap anywhere in the motor, everything is built to compliment each other. The motor I want to build won't be ready until probably the 2008 season. I was just thinking of throwing a cheap $125 cam in my current motor for this season until I get the "real" thing built, kind of like a stop-gap measure.
