    hey Blown 5.0, I got those 2 books you recommended. Just finished one of them, great reading. Gotta get through the other one still.

    Sorry dude, I misread the cam specs and was thinking you went with a little more compression. I ran the numbers through cam doctor and although this wouldn't be my choice, it might be the best for you till you get used to being blown. You will lose some low end with the cam, But it will bleed some cylinder pressure that could cause you some problems. I don't think it will cause any heating problems as some cams in this range does.

    Ok sweet, thanks for the feedback. What I was thinking is going and talking to these guys in San Diego called Schneider Cams. There was an article about them doing some cam shootout for one of the supercharger compnaies so I'll run it by them and get their recommendations to and I'll post.

    I read that article. There is some great articles out there. I don't see a reason not to run E85 at this time. The gas station is close to my house, I'll probably break even on the price, I'll be helping the environment, I'll help control detonation a little better and I'll be able to put a sticker on my car that says ETOH

    Yeah the only reason I dont run it right now is the nearest E85 station is 30 miles away so It does not make any sense for me to run it right now.
