Trunnion Upgrade
I always wondered what this was and found a video about it.
Thought I would post here incase someone else had the same question.

Did you have comp cams? Heard quite a bit of horror stories about those. Straub is supposed to be pretty good, for my sake I hope they are, that's who I went with

I had a nightfury vvt and 3200 single, haven't had the car retuned yet for this setup. This all just changed within the last month. Made a couple pulls, it's night and day difference. I can only imagine how it's gonna feel with proper tune.

I had no clue until I pulled the valve cover off to put a fresh set of valve springs in. No strange noises or drivability issues or lights. Who knows how long I was driving it like that.
