Correcting Mopar Valvetrain Geometry

RustyRatRod said

I could certainly see power gains if the valve train is not opening and closing the valves optimally, due to incorrect geometry. Enough to feel in the butt dyno? That's anyone's guess, but I'll say this. It's attention to details like that, that make the difference in some wins and some losses. All the little "gettin it right" things add up. There's no question about it.

I can attest to the change in responsiveness (butt dyno?) The EFI 408 I had, did have some angle issues. I was already used to the launch characteristics of the car (street and track) After a consult with Mike, the obligatory paperwork (measurements), install and new pushrods (shorter). It was a very noticeable difference, with a much crisper idle and much faster ramp up, picked up another 500rpm (still pulling and now hit the limiter to fast). Dyno power? not sure, Drivers seat impression, I'll never do another traditional wedge again without it. As a side note it also negated the pushrod clearance work I had to do on my Eddy's since it moved the pushrods toward the center of the engine. This was with a comp roller cam, Mancini roller lifters and rockers.
