Thanks, Michael

Perhaps my description of peak torque was vauge. It is relatively flat from 2000 to 4000 and then heads down at almost a 45 degree angle above 4000. The Dove rockers are adjustable and I have the appropriate push rods, etc. They are set at zero backlash per the crower specs. It almost looks and feels like the cam is 2 or 4 degrees advanced. Before I tear it all apart (I have to yank the intake anyway because I just developed an intake leak) I am going to verify the cam setup. Interesting on the plug gap. It is set at .035 based on suggestions due to compression - a lot of cars running 8.5 or 9:1 can use the bigger gap but I was told at 10.8 to keep it about 0.035. I have never tried to open them up but may give it a go. Nitrous is a popular add-on in the high country as adding 100 HP just about gets you to sea level output so the engines are not terribly stressed up here. Given the goofy power curve, though, it would be a band-aid.
