Haven't heard real-world reviews on those heads yet. For $800, seems like a reasonable gamble.

I wouldn't use the SA or any other VS/demand-based secondary carb on a performance application. Otherwise, looks okay.

That's a nice voodoo cam. Very similar to the comp xe268, but a tad more aggressive. Break it in very very carefully, to the letter. I wiped mine out.
