Jalopy, there looks like (8) different cam combos with some having as many as (4) different heads to test with that are on the drawing board right now. Tom has mentioned a final test with an additional Hi-compression 194 cylinder head that wasn't part of the original (8) combos. So, if time is on his side and there aren't any hic-ups along the way, we might be able to test all, including this one also. This Hi-compression head should yield the highest HP and torque #'s when combined with the most aggresive cam profiles we have selected. Naturally, it would be pointless to test a stock head with the big flat tappet cams and the biggest valve heads with the stock cam. So only combos that are going to potentially gain forward progress have been selected to test. All the heads and cams are going to be pre-staged with their respective components already assembled to speed up the R&R process, and minimize down time between dyno pulls.
