First "problem" was we didn't expect such a thin head gasket for the RHS deal. Typically we're use to a 51 and this was 41 compress which pushed our compression (static) from 11.3 to 11.5

Fairly confident that the cam overlap will bleed some off, but it's something to watch.

We take it to Westech on Tuesday for dyno. Right now I'm heading to BOS to pull out the 454 which is going in David's Camaro.

I will also be switching to Centerforce's twin disc clutch. After doing one in the 2010 SS I'm sold on how badass this thing is.
