Well finally got my engine back together after a few grueling months of waiting on parts. We had an issue with a camshaft that lost it's heat treat and sent some debris throughout the engine. Nothing a minor clean up could not handle. So we decided to make some changes as well on freshen up. Added a little meat back to the pistons, new rods, went to an EZ Roll Isky lifter, and of course a new cam. Close to the same specs as before but not quite the same. Anyway we finally got it together and running again yesterday. Decided to not dyno it again as it is basically the same other than some minor cam timing and 40 grams more weight. I have pics of the old cam if anyone is interested. It is the second time I have had an issue with a cam from this company, so dont think I will go that way again. Here she is all dressed up with nowherre to go

Looks great Al. Up here the tracks have been closed for a month.  They don't reopen till April
I'm curious whose cam was soft?
My guess would LSM.

Yes it was an LSM camshaft. Since inquiring and pm minds want to know. It now has a Bullet camshaft in it.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for Infineon at the end of the month(assuming you're running?)I'm starting to go through withdrawls already myself.Car's been on stands for a month trying to fit new headers,and giving her some new plumbing as well.Been kinda therapeutic actually. 
You guys certainly are always the front runners for sure.
