upgrades
Rogue,
Did you get the 105# springs and OR pushrods installed? Why the sudden change to cam vs higher ratio rockers. Impressive gains so far.

Rogue your a lucky man, Lets us know how all goes tomarrow, the springs take some time to install.
Got to keep up with Whisky ehh, Wish I had Intenses support locally and funds to make that leap, are you prepared for a new tranny? Don't think yours will last much longer with the 1x and the way you drive. The tranny breaking after Cam is what held me back, here lots of stories threw ILGPC, they all love their cams just their input shafts don't.
Good luck you SOB!!!
Newbie, don't worry about Rockers, they do what they say and are worth it big time for the higher RPM gain, I love mine, been in for 800miles or so.

Taylor D, You got the springs and OR pushrods along with the 1.9'*. What are your shift points and have you experienced any valve flloat (probably not with heavier springs)
If you still got the stock shift points...what kind of gains do you see , low rpm and midrange?
