What I see is to get to 6500 and have roughly 550ish HP with sustainable maintenance is a better goal. I want to drive this, enjoy it and be fast enough to keep my underwear clenched but not chaffing. I am also am debating if I should scarp this project and go to a Gen III setup? As for Hughes, yes I would use them but I have to admit Dave gave me simple answers - "this is the cam you need." Is it? IQ actually hit some points on the LSA which reading confirms. So, I will keep doing research until I am in the position.
Rocco - Thanks for the offer, and your right I may be barking up the wrong tree with the hydraulics, your advice is taken on the mechanical. Did the shims work out? Sorry for delay on getting them to you. Keep me posted on your Eddies, I may be in the position for them soon. I am debating on selling the 470 and heading towards a Gen III. How the car doing?
