Stroked 460 Questions

[kkosche]

Finalizing a purchase on a SP. Has a 460 that is stroked to 521. Running P51 heads and a CompCams solid roller (FF-4420-4132-R108). Victor 4500 /1050 Holly. Compression is 10.4:1. TKO500 and Ford IRS. Car will be ran near Seattle, WA.

Questions:

1. How often will I need to mess with adjusting the valve train? I have only messed with small blocks w/hydraulic lifters . . . set and forget.

2. The car is coming from high altitude (5000' plus) do you have a dyno/tuner/shop that is recommend some where between Bellingham and Olympia, WA?

3. If I wanted to skip tuning the Holly and jump right to an 8 stack set up for this specific set up, what would the specific recommendation be (components, existing cam, etc?). Budget $10K. Car is already plumbed with a return line.

4. If I go stack set up, would the tuner in question #2 be different?

5. Any other recommendations, suggestions, watch words of advice? Most of the time I am pretty "teach-able".

Thank you!
