still loving the cam? Im under the impression that the stock cam is very close to what any aftermarket cam can do given the limits to the valve geometry and that the bigger gain comes from the better springs installed with a cam snapping the valves shut more efficiently than the stockers that are said to fluctuate greatly in closing presures and be cheepo quality. Is this right I plan to do springs only. What springs did you use with your flecher cam?

stock springs for now tell the head comes off here in a few weeks, probably going to the hamilton 110. I like the cam, I just need more rpms and fuel at a higher rpm, it really wants to keep pullin at 3600 but I run out of fuel.
