The way you are getting all your parts in you will be ready to build before you know it!!! I can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Are you going with the SS4 cam or have Rhino make an SS5?!?! Haha

Are you buying one? If not I believe my buddy has one that you can borrow when the time is right.

Hemp, coming a long way from the "muffer delete" lol. Cant wait to see the finished product man. Let me know if there is any stupid stuff you need, we have some random things laying around from other builds.

I was kinda thinking if I took on the "hard part" right off the bat this whole project would just slide along at a reasonable pace. I just want to be done by next May. I still need to ask Ryan, but I'm hoping he can spec something based off of my PTV measurements on the stock cam after I cut. He should be able to come up with something.

I was planning on buying the tools, but it would be awesome if I didn't have to. Does he have cutters for both valves? If I can borrow the tools, or rent them from him, I'd probably go ahead and get new gaskets and bolts so I can pull the heads and get this knocked out.

Thanks Chris. The muffler delete sounds easy, but I had to buy welding equipment and learn how to weld for that one! I need to learn how to take it easy . I think I have rounded up most everything for the conversion. I could still use another phaser gear. I need one that I can unspring and lock to full retard so I can measure PTV on the other side. That'll be another thing I need to ask Ryan... do I need to measure at full retard before he can spec me something, or can that wait until I put the new cam in. I guess the worst that could happen is I have to pull the heads and cut some more.
