Hi Mike,
Yeah, there is about 100 bags of cement right there!
Hi Damo,
the lifters will be the same Pauter ones that I have been using. Light weight and super durable.
This cam is about half way between the two that I have tried so far.
I have made my own camshaft blanks twice before,
but the hassle of having it heat treated and ground before and after(cam guy is now in Sydney),
plus the 8 hours on the lathe and mill was not worth it.
This profile is a proven entity as far as stability, so I bit the bullet.
Damn those model hands! They are a curse!

Thanks Jason,
Next step will be to send it down to Surecam in Sydney to have the profile checked
in case there are any harmonic or grind-quality issues.
But I will still try the engine with the old cam and all those other changes first.

Nice I can't wait to see it in action again its been awhile for me. So how much is a tenth of a second costing you these days Dave? I don't think I
want to know or it might scare me off drag racing for good!
Again Good Luck + lets hope it does bring you a couple of tenths

I was not concerned about weight on the front end,actually needed a few more lbs ballast,so went with late model type three discs. Kieth and I talked
about adapting rotors to mount to the spindles,have seen them done, but with the stock discs I can get parts anywhere, custom fabbed ones are a pain
if you need replacements. Besides,found the whole deal on EBAY for 136.00,all new!!!!! I already bought the drop spindles,so here I go. Merry xmas to
you all , Mike

Mills..he had a brother or a friend with a 12sec street Manx, both had 2180's!
Correct me if I'm wrong.

The photos need to be reduced in size, (I find 450 by 338 pixels to be good)
or hosted on a site like photobucket and linked.
You can send them to my email if you want, but try to reduce the size a bit?
