Which I totally get and understand completely. This is not what a consumer is told when working with a guy that helps spec parts. I am pretty positive That you will not find a consumer that has been told when buying parts from the guy that helped spec the components to be prepared to buy a different cam, carb rockers etc. Sorry if I call it how I see it a "guessing game" because if it wasn't it would be spot on the first time. I get frustrated when people have so much confidence with parts chosen then after a dozen changes you get what you expected from the beginning. This engine building stuff that we do is not fully engineered with a DVP, I wish people would stop acting like it is.

Another way to look at it.. all the peterpan peanut butter sprinkled with magic pixie dust isnt going to make your 10,000 pound resin sandwhich taste anybetter than regular old Jiff in the grand scheme of lunch. Sure you can think your gourmet, But in reality, your still just another peanut butter sandwhich... Unless you have some kind of half off coupon for the peterpan, your better off saving your money for an extra glass of kool aid to go with lunch.

Actually, I can promise you, if you grab a tub of Teddy Peanut Butter, and a box of Ritz crackers, your heart will over rev and your valves will break. Your intake valve will bust clean off, and your exhaust valve will stick.

But, you will have a smile.
