Well to make a long story short the lifters were never a problem. The timing was never set right. After I asked my dad if we ever set it correctly he told me no. Keep in mind this was after I went back in and backed off them. Now my baby sounds like a sewing machine. So you all know what I have to do now. Hey its a learning experience so I am ok with it. Just believe that it will never happen again.

As to say though the cam that I put in has an awsome sound and I get good response from it. So if you want a good after market cam that works good with your stock everything else here it is with the specs:

Hope everyone get some good out of this post.



Also to add. We did set the timing where it was before we took everything apart. What we realized was the timing never was right from the time I brought it. So that could have been the problem all along and never need a cam, but I wanted to up grade that anyway.
