Once you get that thing tuned up we should race. I've got old man winter in a bottle, and he wants out.

Not even just the Vicoory_Red_SS deal... I don't think they really know our drivetrain. I think you'll be fine with the lifters and Rocker Arms though.

But I do know that a considerable amount of people had problems with their Cams AND their Valve Springs (edubs, IIRC, had the most problems... I can't remember if that ever got settled to be Installer Error or not, I know that's what JBP blamed it on though).

I ordered my cams and springs from them, and promptly sold them after reading all the troubles people were having. Not to mention the fact that I order them Jan 28th... and didn't get them until late April.

And their Customer Support/Service SUCKS.

Just look at their Group Buy header deal. Took them FOREVER and a day, and they were jerking people around about it the whole time.

Well maybe if I did something bad to you, I'd be worried, not telling you how I got something for free is not worthy of karma
