What I' mean is, right now i thing this cam hits peak HP at @6800-7000rpms. By advancing it to hit my peak at around 6300-6500rpms will i loose much if any power?
Dang, that's what I was feeling with my 220/220... Power cam on hard at 4K, sometimes as low as 3,500, but the shift recovery thing was a little slow.

Advancing... if you're peaking that high and not actually hitting those RPM's, I'm thinking you'll actualy GAIN power...?!?

don't move the cam. Just get a vig multi disc converter and be done. Plus later you can play with the lock up function at the top of 3rd since the vig is a multidisc converter and can handle it

I can only find one place up here to fill my bottle. Maine OXY, and its $5.50 per lb. Plus they charge you to pressure test your bottle before they will fill it.

Sorry if i offend, but NORTHERNERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to get back down south.
