Worth a read if you are looking into 117 stuff.

Just going to run the 625's I have. This is just to have some added fun for the rest of the summer.
Pretty sure Santa is bringing me a 124 to play with next year.

PLEASE tell Santa I was a good boy this year and would like him to drop off a granite 124" too.

Work has kept me away from getting to the dyno. All back together, sounds really nice. Exhaust used to sound like a bat hitting a pillow, now it sounds like a bat hitting a baseball..

Friday is the day, Russ at Lonewolf Perf will be spending the day massaging the old girl back into fighting shape!

From there, immediately leaving on a run through the Oregon coast, Sacramento, Vegas etc, wherever there's sunshine really!

Post results when I can, hopeful for good running machine.

I "like" the 625's, want to "love" the next set...
Then look at the Woods 9 series cams. The specs are similar to the T-man cams but they carry out much better. Maybe it's the way the grind it's ramped... When i was running a W8 it was still climbing in hp @6500rpm.
