Gary and I have discussed various options and theories at length. Forced induction requires EFI or a blow-through carb, which can pose tuning issues. Turbos require a full set of custom headers with custom piping, along with extra room under the hood. Blowers require the same.
Gary prefers the "higher strung" engines...I think he's just bored with the current engine being done at 5500-6000. He wants more power and a higher peak.
The end result will be a nice "hybrid" engine....and we'll aim for the perfect blend of street and race engine. The solid roller cam that I chose will require a seasonal lash check, but my no means is it a "spring eater" that will require constant maintenance. It will run on pump gas. It will not require constant carb tuning or rear wheel dyno sessions to get the tune correct.
My goal is to always meet the customer's needs and wants, and I spend a vast amount of time going over every single detail. Gary knows that he can change his mind at any time......and we have made a few changes already.
