I see this cam popping up from you, myself and others as of recent. Wonder how it would work with 10.5:1 565 NA builds. Any thoughts. I'd I like to try a couple out when I go down state for a week. The Lunati EFI cam that got brought up the other day is another one. Lunati has couple that stand out actually.

It be nice to find out if in fact the cam was ground too far, or whatever. If in fact it was something he did wrong, he can learn from it, and not do it again.
