its called second time around no refactoring. i guess when you go fast you just come up light, drain fluids, get tossed by simple little [human error hahaha] . it happens to all of us. just happens a little too often to some of them

The first cam I ordered for my stocker came up short, .390 when it was supposed to be .410. Rockers would have fixed it cheaper than buying another cam if they had been available. Any body want a slant six stocker cam? The cam grinder wouldn't take it back. I for one am supprised NHRA cares about the ratio as long as the the lift checks good. I guess I'll be checking that when I build engines from now on...........
