Thumbs up

Guys thanks for the responses. Most of what was said here was already on my mind but I do appreciate the expertise shared. For those that suggested calling KCR; I did but the person that I got on the phone was rather busy and I got kind of blown off. Before I do buy you can bet that I'll be doing some more looking.

Undy; just over 500 is what I was figuring as well and in a Cobra that aught to be fine to start off with. Right now I have about the same HP in a car that weighs 3500# and 16" more wheel base. I think my learning curve is going to be vertical for a while anyway.

FWB; we covered the valve/block clearance issues adnausium in an earlier thread before I bought the stroker kit, then the machinist checked when the block was machined and of course I'll recheck during final assembly.

RK; you're right it is Dynatek. I don't even know why I typed that.

Barry; thanks for the guidance, it's much appreciated.

Don and Undy; I don't know about you guys, but almost $800 for a cam and lifters doesn't seem like bargin hunting to me. I picked this example off of ebay simply because it included the price for both, along with most of the specs that I'm leaning toward. That made it an easy example.

Previous to this build my largest has been the 372" clevor in my Boss 302. After dealing with small block cam figures for so long I'm trying to get my head wrapped around what an engine with almost 100 ci more than that is going to need. Hence my questions. Feel free to keep'em coming guys.

Steve
