Are you asking a question or stating a fact?

Re: new bumpstick today

It's fine if you want a powerband from 5000 to 6500 rpm. Better get a 4.56:1 gear.

Re: new bumpstick today

oh boy, what a state of the art cam too. I think that was outdated when my dad was young... That cam has the laziest ramp rates known to man. You'll have a BRUTAL idle, and it'll barely be on by 3500 RPM... sleepy!
They're cheap for a reason...

Oh well, your idle will sound awesome, can't argue that. Make sure you get nice glass packs to go with it....
Just bring a respirator, it'll be running pretty rich at idle...
