As my buddy would say orange and yellow makes it go faster and adds like 50hp! Lol. I haven't heard anything bad about the summit air gaps. I think it's more along the lines of name brand and weather it's been ported or not

well all did not turn out ok. lost a lobe on the cam on break in... that's the second summit cam that's happened to me too. cheap isn't always better I guess, never had a problem with other name brand cams.
well I got another one ordered its a Howards hydraulic roller, a lot more money but it should work better than the last.
let the tare down begin... UGH...

3/8s push rods, larger than stock, only harden steel ones like my old ones. much cheaper and will be more than strong enough with a hydraulic roller vs solid roller. holy crap I hope that's it, I cant afford anything else, hope its all worth it. cant wait to rip around sand lake.

ok made a run to sandlake, had to adjust two rockers that were loose. that's what was making me nervous cause I spent a lot of time making these adjustments perfect before I fired it up. I was like what the hell now? but everything is fine. they were only off by a quarter turn and after running for an hour or so all was quiet. still having a charge problem at the end of the day, had to flag someone down for a jump to get back to the trailer. also I keep squeezing oil out from the oil filter seal at about 4500 rpm. witch forced me to take it easy on it, the horse powers really good up there darn it.
