Re: just looking for your advice on going nuts

I've hot a spare mr lump sat here if you go down that route. One thing I'll say about using high lift cams is that they are lumpy as f**k. They sound great but the idle can be irattic and juddery. I'm calming mine down as I'm bored of it constantly sounding like it'll cut out, the real power only ...
