Fresh engine, wiped cam? Tick? (new pics added)

O.k... Now we are getting into a area I really didn't want to get into. I was doing work for the guy that built my engine, to keep cost down on my end. Since I was working for him (essentially), he called the shots of what he wanted to put into the engine. It was his idea for a stroker, and it sounded good to me, but I had no say so in any of the parts. He just got what he got. Basically, I think he just picked what was cheaper, and that is why. The work I was doing didn't compare to the work that he was doing for me. I think that is how he saw it, and why I really don't feel compelled to go back there, I felt that I was busting my balls. So he basically flipped the bill for half the parts, and he built it, and I worked for him, and paid for the other half that I bought myself (Cam, intake, carb, ect...)
All in all, I believe these springs were picked basically because they were cheaper. If you notice as well, the Lunati springs are larger diameter because they are a dual spring, which would mean that the heads would need extra work done them to get the springs to fit, which means more labor, and more labor = more money. (The odd thing is they had to to this for the comp springs anyway).

So that is how i ended up with some of the parts that are being used.
