So I've been working on it since Monday. Yesterday I machined a coil bracket, lashed the valves, re-torqued the heads, compression test all cylinders while plugs were out--205psi across the board-150 psi first crank,hooked up electric chokes to +12v, removed the electric water pump, installed the serpentine drive kit and installed the MSD 6Al2 programmable. Warmed it up and made a couple of tests--its much stronger with an ignition curve in it--It is now about 20ft/lbs stronger and making 735hp and climbing. Going to disassemble the absorber today and try and figure out what is going on. I spoke with Superflow yesterday and they weren't a whole lot of help although they said my dyno should hold 800-900 ft/lbs @ 3000 rpm--which I have NEVER been able to do. I'm starting to wonder if this absorber had tight enough tolerances to begin with--we bought it new in June 2009. All I have for cam specs is a photo the customer supplied we with. Thanks, J.Rob
