The new grind from Wade seems to be producing some good results, the 1636.

Sorry to hijack threads, but after you put a cam in is there anything else to do, i mean can u just take off the rocket cover and other bits drop it in and put it all back together? Also what is the avg price of a decent cam?

add shims if required.
drop in cam dial in (if fitting a vernier gear) cam costs anywhere from $120 + changeover upto $400 depending on brand etc. *Really* research your cam selection before purchasing.

It does work better with a stall though.
14.2 vs 14.7 shows that

*dig* Thought I'd bring up an old thread rather than making *another* copy of the same thing.
I've just found out the 1636 isn't suitable for my engine, damnit! ('cause it's one of those la-di-dah AU/EL hybrid jobs) What else can you guys recommend in the way of cams?
