Default Diving in "head" first..

Well not literally, the Woods 555 cams, PC-V, and V&H Pro Pipe are in place..
Ordered the Level B heads from FM for the 103" SG yesterday... A recent health scare for my Father has made me see that since tomorrow isn't a guarantee for any of us,maybe loosen the purse strings some and enjoy what we have today to the max is a philosophy to try for the time being...

After chatting with Jamie, he talked me out of swapping to the 777 cams as well, gotta like it when a supplier has your interests in mind, as opposed to making the most dollars possible from every sale, many thanks.

Looking forward to this combo in a few weeks when parts get here. Starting with 102/106 as it sits right now, hoping for 115/118 with the .30 gasket for more compression and the additional airflow of the heads.. Satisfied with 110/114, should be achievable imo...

Sorry to hear about your Dad. It sounds as if you're acting on some well thought out decisions. Enjoy the ride, you never know when it'll be your last.
