see thats what i was thinking....i really dont want to switch out my pistons...for a couple of reasons... i did not rebuild my bock, i had a machine shop do it that does Z engines...so they overbored it and installed these pistons, and i paid $1300 for the engine block, so i dont want to switch them out! ill probbaly end up using this cam for a while, then if it really doesnt preform well at all ill go down to stage 2.... im only going to use this car for driving around my town, ya know, downshifting to throw the RPM's up and fly by someone.....some track and autox...
