ah that was it for today...

I am wondering if less cam might be more for this, guys seem to make massive peak power but the average is a bit low.. no actually sheet to look at though.

The camshaft DEFINITELY needs to be tailored to the Judged rpm window.
 
Guys, the lifter bores have been corrected, but its 8:20 currently, and the block is one state away. We still have our spot if I can get the block back here early enough to assemble the engine, and make pulls tomorrow night. It seems ridiculous, but I'm kinda insane anyway

They are arguing bout the raised runner thing

Yes, chevy #2 has All Pro raised runner heads, which the rules prohibit in writing. Salter evidently told him they were ok to run, will be interesting to see if the rules are honored. The integrity of this whole competition depends on fair and honest rule enforcement.

Despite my efforts, I dont have the head gaskets I need, so I'm not gonna make it unfortunately. Lord knows how hard I tried.

Can't do more than your best, nice effort...

Yeah.. Salter showed pics of the heads and they look like stock location ports.. other guys there agreed

They basically said it's a learning experience and they will have to tighten things up.. i don't think they were done talking though.. they went outside off camera to continue

Greg also asked him how can they be the same as stock if the location is raised, to which salter responded "I dont know"

That's a poor excuse, this is the like the 4th time they have had this competition, they had it a few times back in 16-17
 
My cam finally shipped from Jones :) hope i didn't piss him off too much emailing.. but wtf.. 3 weeks no replies.. and called and couldn't find out what was going on
 

just praying it's all right (not a slight against any cam guy at all.. but easy to make a mistake on a engine model you probably don't do many of) like the howards that had the oil holes not drilled all the way in one cam
