yummy love the talk of heads getting worked!

spin out the titanium dual springs and titanium nitride coated valves. wont bend, but fi they doooo, the coating will not crack off!

The titanium springs might be a little brittle for high mileage cars, but they make a real nice chromoly setup that is a bit heavier, but more durable!

Those are some good cams. FYI, the stock cam gear cover doesn't fit right over my AEM cam gears. you might want to get the zacklee or other cover. Just in case your cover doesn't fit.

You just have to play with it and keep your patience......it comes out and goes back in, just not always easily. Part of me wanted to get a sawzaw and cut the hole bigger but it wasn't my car so I struggled through and finally went in.

Sounds good. I think i will be ok. Although, i doubt i will have less than a half a tank of fuel. I might be able to get close to half, but i doubt it would be below that....
