    Which is the smart way? Rebuild or crate shortblock?

    id be leary of the workmanship of any ordered engine. especially gm goodwrench, iv'e seen more bad ones than good ones. most of the time you have a good machinist and tools in these factories and have people who barely break minimum wage who barely speak english assemble them. i swear this...

    HP gains from Cam swap.

    the bigest advantage to a roller cam is the faster ramp rates(valves open and close faster) and most of the 280 and above grinds the valve stays open at max liftfor a short duration instead of coming down as soon as it gets there. if you were to "map out" the curve on a graph a roller cam of...
