Yeah, that don't sound right. You would think you would get more than 2hp more going up 10 cubic inches.

Those Woods 6-6 are pretty small for a 106" with headwork. I would for sure up the ante in the cam selection. The .027" Cometics will help with the compression and allow for better cams too. Not sure where you want your cams to excel but Woods 555, Andrews 54, Genesis 577 all come to mind.

Are you still running a stock throttle body(46mm)? There are a couple of places that can modify your stock tb and really help you on the higher rpms - Dan Vance Racing, maybe?

This is the way to go! I did this a couple years ago and was very pleased with the turn around.

Damn dude feel your pain. Looking forward to see how everything turns out and how the HP will be much higher next time you hit the dyno. It will work out just fine.

Did you check/set the ring gap in the first place? That is very important imao.

If he bought it as a kit, the end gap should've been set when he got it. Should've.
