I can't take any credit for the stuff on this forum but I'd like to thank you for the props.
It's rare to hear praise for America rather than Anti-American propaganda.

Thanks!

You are right, of course, but the testing and development took place in Florida.

Also the forum doesn't have a smilie with the Australian flag.

Testing and development took place down under too lol.
Took months for Steve to make the correct grind and test it on our cars here.
We took the risk of putting these cams in initially.
Dont be too selfish :(

Yellow_glide how come you need a new clutch? Theoretically and practically it should handle more power if you dont keep the revs at the redline always.

Hi Tulkas!! Just want to make sure the clutch can handle the new power. I did a motor project a couple of years ago and the clutch lasted 53 miles after I got it home - learned from that one. Besides, with all of the SC options going around I would hate to see a stock clutch create some problems....

I'm sorry if I come off as selfish. That was not my intention.
I realize they put in the R&D to get your motors going down under but apparently that didn't translate as well to ours. Hence the collaboration between Mace/Tracy/Vince.

I just happen to work in an industry where I see a lot of Anti American. So it was refreshing to hear someone from another country that was Pro American.

I have friends all over the world and I'm not against anyone. I would hope to call you a friend too!

Going with a Spec for now and see how that does. Missed Tulkas' comment about the redline - dyno graph will me the potential shift points - but hey, if your not willing to spin it up what's the point! Lol.

If it weren't for you boys down under - I wouldn't have cams! You were the real pioneers in this. You definitely deserve more than just a little credit!
