Thanks for the input. I've decided to get the stage 1 DevilsOwn kit as it's priced fairly and will give me the added saftey and cooling I want.
That Extreme Velocity hat you posted is great, but why can't it be half the price like the Spectre one. I get the EV's are supposed to flow the best, but when the cost is twice as much I have to start wondering when I'm spending beyond my means. I will keep my eyes open for a used divided EV for now.
The 12bolt cam I posted before is: Lift .488 Duration 212 @ .050 113 Lobe separation
Maybe I'm reading it wrong but aside from the lobe separation, it seems to be within the range you suggested. Again, a little on the pricier side than direct from comp, but a good pick otherwise right?
