i havent made it to the track since the other mods(like a year now) so even if i did go, it would be pointless to post the results since i didnt go before the rockers anyway...i have to fix my sig cause i wont be hitting the track again untill this trans is fixed. i dont want to go there and run the same time in my sig but with more mods because of my trans........it sux because i really miss it

I remember from your other post that you said it took .4 off of your Tazzo times, which may seem like a bit much, but you did also cut your 60' down too as stated. I totally accept that it made a difference. That's why I'm dropping the cash on the swap after buying 1.6 Comp Pro Mags when I did my head and cam package about 3 months ago.

Sorry for coming off defensive if i did... i would love nothing more than to get some track times with my current setup but its not gonna happen with the trans the way it is so it will be in the spring sometime. when i do ill dig up my thread and post my results....i would watch out for valve cover clearence using those with that cam...........

I think I might be OK though because when my H/C got done, the mechanic completely clearanced the stock covers out. No more supports to get in the way. Just gotta order the rockers, slap them on, and see if it works.
