Will have the block back for the weekend, cleaned, with new bearings everywhere, checked bores and rings and ready to assemble. Both crank and cam has been polished. Hopefully a new cam gear with possibilities to get 6 degrees advance will land here too before weekend. A new high volume oil pump is already here.
Will cc the heads, and another machine shop will stand ready to mill them on Monday. Hopefully I can find a valve spring tester too.

Came to think of one thing today. My buddy mounted a hood insulation, and with the RPM intake the Twin Air top gets choked by the insulation, and the height of the filter is only 2". Do you think this might have affected the breathing..?

How much cylinder pressure can we expect this combo (with 9.5:1) have?
Well how much torque and hp would it give?
