So, of the two Comp 212/218's, what are the advantages of the lower lift & 114 LSA vs the high lift & 115 LSA? I'm guessing the stock pushrods willl be fine with this combo? I do plan on using the 918 springs.
I think I just wasted $490 by having nelson tune it, instead of someone local.

But its a good idea to get some TR hardened rods and put them in while you have the valve covers off. Its easy and they are 100 bucks. I can give you a hand sometime if you need!

I saw a truck alot like yours at about 10 this morning on 69 northbound going over 119th. The grill caught my eye from a mile away. It was really clean.

Who has the best prices? I haven't seen the cam cheaper than $360.
At least you don't have to drive down there during rush hour. I'd hate sitting in that mess at the 35 interchange with the new bridge construction. We just bought a new building, so I'm across the street from JCCC now. I miss watching all the secretaries running around the track at corporate woods.
