Ok here is the deal! The Comp Cam shows NO Wear on the lobes or the solid lifters after 4000 miles. I was very happy with my cam setup except at the larger tracks I needed a few more RPM's so my rev limiter doesn't kick in before I am ready to apply my brakes. Probably the most logical answer would be to change out my rear gears for the longer tracks (pumpkins are fairly cheap). The number 1 bearing spun on this block and crank combination twice but it won't happen again.

Rick I have spoken to George and I am going to a 427 bored .030 over and I intend to use a new 428 crank, Eagle rods and light weight forged alum pistons maybe 11 : 1 or more compression. I will be adding an accusump this time even though I think it is just a band aid for some other problem.

Morris, how is the Kirkham coming are you going to be ready for Road America this year? I am sure if you are I will get quite familiar with your rear licence plate.
