    new extreme compcams

    well I am glad the valve reliefs worked out for you. I was told they wont work on a mod motor. Note to self: beat person that told me that!!! What year is your motor...96-98? Because if you had a 99-up motor, they should have cleared. Just curious.

    new extreme compcams

    If you install the chains properlly, there is no need to degree the cams. I do reccomend checking the base circle on comp cams though. On some of the older cams (older than 2 years), the base circle was off. I have the XE278's, and have no PTVC problems. There is no need to have valve...

    new extreme compcams

    I have a 302 stroker with ported heads and comps XE278 cams and love them. They make the same power as VT's, if not a little more. I have no piston to valve issues, but am running 21cc dished pistons. Valve reliefs wont make a difference either. PTVC occurs at the edge of the piston on mod...

    Which 18" tires?

    I used nitto drag radials and thought they sucked for traction and mileage. Nittos have too much hype. I now have BFG drag radials, and they hook much better. They seem to be lasting pretty well mileage wise.

    why change MAF

    well, all I know is that my old engine was a 98 4.6 gt, and when I put the C+L 80mm maf on my car, I noticed nothing except for a check engine light and after coding, said left bank is lean. Biggest waste of money I have spent yet!
