Milner;

Good points, I do have a desk top dyno,bought it when they first came out a long time ago.... As for building and checking the engine,I'm probbaly one of the "worst or best" depends which way you look at it when it comes to checking things.... Like with the AFR heads,first thing I'd do is take them apart and check valve spring pressures and coil bind height,I tend to check and recheck and recheck everything,cause once I put an engine together and put it in a car I do not like having to pull it out and apart for something simple that was overlooked.... I learned that a long time ago,do it right the first time and then drive the heck out of it....

Also, I have access to a large automotive machine shop with all the tools and equipment a man could ask for....The owner lets me go in on saturdays and use a lot of his gauges and tools to check out things such as spring height,coil bind, and spring pressures....
