    Once again, I am old school, as the old solid cams needed .030 lash. lol. I'm sure it would be difficult to hear those new tight(er) lash solids.

    No big deal. They will "sing" and have a little rolling zing to them.
    I drive .680"+ something on the street, it ain't bad at all.
    You will have stop adjust them at everystop light too. :eek: j/k

    Sorry hijack over.

    But my beast (n/a) gets 16 mixed/21 hwy, thanks to EFI and a T56. It definately thumps you in the chest at idle. I get looks everywhere I go, and they are either scared or impressed. All my co-workers call it "The Racecar", but I keep telling them it ain't, the racecar is still being build.
