Curtis, In our story, JN, I mean NB ran just about .60 under, with new pistons and solid lifter cam .
.60 under , with and older cam and hydraulic lifters, and used pistons, etc. might have been a challenge.
VR was what I called your average racer...Not afraid to spend money for the good stuff.
Massaging older parts is an art form that very few competitive racers want to do, in 2023.
If NB had lived near BN, he might have saved himself some real money, but he didn't.
;-)
BTW, running .60 under in a RWD car, with a bunch of used parts, isn't as easy as it sounds.
