I also got rid of the wheel weights on the rear!! Giving Ride-On a try. I'll put it in the front soon when I get the 120mm Metz!!

I ordered my cams and push rods today!! After learning how the specs relate to performance, and comparing similar spec cams by looking at countless dyno sheets, I went with the Andrews 37H and EZ install chromolly adjustable push rods. It should give me the result I'm looking for.

Andrews web site description: Model 37H
"Hot street cams for 96", 103"
90+ rear wheel H.P. possible with well tuned 96" more with 103"
Smooth idle, broad torque range (2200-5600 rpm)
c/r stock to 9.5"
Although I've learned that 10.0/1 sounds like the optimal compression ratio for the 37H, I know there are people running them in there Breakouts (9.61/1) with very good results. I read more than once where people looking for a similar results as me, were told that the 37H may not be "best" choice for everyone, but is rarely ever a "bad" choice!! We'll soon see!! I picked the 37H over the SE204 because I want the peak power just a little higher in the R.P.M. range and with the intake close at 38 I'll get that. I hope to have them installed in the next week or two!!!

do you lose some of the torque/hp when you put a bigger tire on there because of it being more to pull. and does that affect the pull on the belt too?

awesome build, well thought out.... even if some of it was fumbling about. That's how we learn, adapt and create. Cool stuff...

I'm not sure Freak? I wouldn't think so, but the Metz. is only about a 1/4 inch wider then the stock Dunlop. I know it wouldn't make much difference how much torque you have if you're spinning a narrower tire.

The springs are to firm up the front end and reduce the nose dive and peg scrapping on turns..
