Found this on my porch today!

It's hard to see all the specs from my phone.
Have to look on my laptop.
Looks Hotter than your old cam.

Boost compatible?
See 108 & 112 Centerlines.

It,s a little hotter.

243/253 @ .050 , .508/.530 lift on 112 LSA and 108 LCA
it was recommended by Howards for my application.

They actually wanted me to go to a 110 LSA!

I may be jumping rockers up to 1.6, But I will check valve to piston clearances before I purchase them
using my 1.5 set installed first.
1.6 ratio will put my lift at .542/.565

That would not be fair Mike.
I would actually be lying them.
I would be more truthful saying 210hp.

Ok.
High lift needs crazy high spring pressures high boost.
Medium lift sensible

I have 115 closed and 310 open spring pressure.
I inquired Howards about the pressures and they said I would be fine.
If it bothered me , I could add 10 lbs to each and sleep easy.

About $800 Benjis with Ship both ways.
Diamonds next.

My wife would divorce me for sure!!!

She has just started to remind me of her dislike of the costs associated with this sport.
Hasn't mentioned her dislike for me yet.. so I think I'm still safe!
After 35 years, I think she is use to my shenanygans!

I would like to see 10 lbs more seat pressure up to 125 lbs.
Springs relax after run time. 3-5 lbs loss typical.

After reading all 19 pages, i really wish to have been born or be living in the USA.
For all the great goodys i’ve seen would cost me an extra $40 for each $100 spend, buying in America end get it send to the Netherlands. Bummer
Luckaly there’s lot of used parts for sale over here.

Hello Willem, Welcome to my build thread!
WOW .. you guys actually have to pay 40% more? That,s horrible.
If you liked what you've seen so far... the pics in the near future that I post will floor you!

I've come to the conclusion that the all think the same.
My wife pretty much said the same thing to me!

Thought I would share a pic of my wife and I along with our son and his wife about 5 years ago.

Thank you Brian

Holy cow!! Chickens! I have to tell this story..

We had new neighbors move in about three years ago. They are mostly horse people, but have a few smaller animals.
Very nice younger couple, we are very happy that they bought the farm next door. Well, one day Zoe and Brian came over and asked if we would mind if they bought a few chickens. My wife thanked them for being considerate of us
and said she had no problem at all. So... a week later Brian bought this really nice A frame chicken house and 25 chickens. The chickens roamed around the farm and occasionally wandered over to our place. It was neat to see them follow each other and wander around. Well... winter came and the chickens were kept in their coop. Come Spring time time we seen them again wandering.
My wife was doing her annual spring planting of flowers and such ...to a tune of $1000 . I can't say much cause I put more than that into my hobby, and if I did say something I would find myself sleeping on the couch again!

Now after about a month goes buy, my wife made the comment that something was digging up her flowers and there were pecking holes all over the front lawn like something was digging. She soon found that it was the chickens destroying her flowers! She then asked If they would try to restrain the chickens. Now me being from the farm, I about soiled myself when I heard her ask this question..and tried not to laugh.

The neighbors did the best they could and things seemed to get better. Now after about another month went by, Brian had mentioned that he was missing a few chickens. I reminded him of the coyoties that were out back and they prolly had a time with the chickens. He agreed also. We kept that info from the wive's so as not to panic them.
About a week later I was over visiting Brian when my wife came over with a pot for the neighbors.
She was just being neighborly and handed a the pot to Zoe.
My wife said " Thought you guy,s might like some homade chicken noodle soup!"

Brian I I about shit ourselves cause Zoe still did not know about the coyotes and could not figure where her chickens went!
All was good and we all had a great laugh out of it!
No... My wife did not kill the chickens... even though she wanted too!
It was a big coincident. One we will not forget!

Had to quit riding.

Lol.
They are Ok.
My young boys Jamie & Nicholas like them.
They have a pecking order.
The Rooster if you have more than 2 or 3 (had 5 last time with 20+ hens) they knock each other off at night. Find dead roosters in the coupe. Gangsters.

Never ate are our own chickens. Like pets.
Farm fresh eggs are nice to have.
Get pictures soon.

Rick is a Cowboy.
It's Engraved on the dash of his T-bucket.
He is not right either.

I was out his way in Tulsa about 12 years ago doing some riding.
I'm not a professional, I just have liked to ride since I was young for fun.
My late Dad's side of the family has a big dairy farm where I spent a great deal of time growing up, and my mother's side was really big into harness racing horses.
You could say I had the best of both worlds!
