My new one is a 115lsa the old one was a 114lsa I won't see the difference until I go to the dyno. The new one idles nice though, driveability is about the same.

No, I am waiting on getting the FAST manifold bolted up. I was hoping to be able to compare the 2 manifolds ,but it doesn't look like I will be able too.

I'm heading towards my first cam swap, and wondering if there is a trick to keeping the lifters from falling down. I'm assuming that was what you were refering to with the tools and magnets. -Thanks
