The long weekend allowed me to get the mustang back together. When all was said and done, I had two whipped lifters and associated cam lobes. I can see where a couple other lifters were about out go. The reason was clear, the lifters were lashed too tight. I had always adjusted lifters hot and running, but since I had pitched my slotted valve cover, I thought I would do it cold, per the book. Given the failure, I went to the bone yard, got another valve cover to slot and am back to lashing the way I know.
The car is up an running. The upgrade to the RPM intake, more agressive cam and a little porting work on the exhaust guide boss has raised the power band. Sure there is a little drop off on low end, but not much. This cam does sound a little meaner while idling. It is hard to tell from the seat of the pants if there is a performance difference. I will have to wait till I get my G-Tech back to give you a comparision.
