Let's not jump to conclusions here. Thats not even remotely true. It's a low mile motor.

Just ordered a set of those new id1050x's injectors. Sick of the deka 80lb'ers.

Heads come off tomorrow and will be going to WCCHfor their stg 3 program. I'll probably put my old cam back in and order a set of the PAC-1205 or 1206 springs with titanium retainers to handle the .660" lift that cam has.

Praying there's no bearing damage - haha

I actually drove the truck a little today just to see what the oil pressure was looking like and to get it hot and check the oil level. Pressure was steady everywhere and the oil looked good and full so that's a good sign for bearings.

I need to save $$ for lifters just in case too - what's a good/better lifter than the LS7 from GM?

Using these in my current Stroker build. Going to crank it up tomorrow. I've lost an LS7 lifter twice so the extra $ is worth the piece of mind.

I switched from deka 80's to id1050x's, huge improvement.
