Ummm That's puttin it mildly LMAO. I had to check and see if something wasn't wrong with my tires or there was tire shine on the tread lol. I'm still going somewhat easy on her. My friend said to wait a few hundred miles or so then change the oil again before really romping on it?

BTW, this project is possilbe without the wedge too. We managed without just gotta be VERY careful. We zip tied the sprocket to a strap rope like you use to hold furniture down in a pick-up truck to the hole in the top of the hood for leverage. It tug just enough to keep the chain from slipping. I meant to take a pic but forgot.

Well I didnt wait to romp in her. Made 4 passes down the track a week after install. I changed my oil the day after racing it.
Those stockers dont look like they stand a chance against your mods at all dude!!! LOL

Nola, this cam is suppose to be about 30hp to the rear wheels if I remember correctly.

I'm mostly happy with the mods. There is a pretty dreadfull flat spot between 2000-2300rpm, but it's easy enough to drive around it. Still on the fence about gears....

Three weeks after I got the car back, I had a rocker bearing fail. It damaged the cam, but all the internals were fine. $1600 later It was back up and running, but destroyed my wheel and tire budget.
