Earl,
It was a new 210/215 off the shelf roller cam kit, the rockers, 1:65 new off the shelf also, at the time there where no 1:60 in stock. I was very perticular with the valve train set-up. I brought home my machinist tools from work and took my time, had to order special length push rods. Mike at Full Throttle Speed, was super to work with me on getting the new push rods. I was concerned about valve spring binding, but never a issue, also valve depth at full open to the pistons, I have plenty of clearance with the diamond pistons, that are notched.
I now where progressive glasses, and it's no fun to wrench anymore, especially being under the car looking up... so I probably won't go back in the motor until some type of failure occurs and we all know that it will, eventually. I see that Dr. Paul (pacecarta) is in the 9's with a 1:55 roller rocker.

Paul,
You know me, I'm not a racer but a daily driver(always drive to BPG and other events), so there are better combinations out there for the racing crowd then what I have.
But on the other hand for a street car, not sure what I would do different in the roller cam or the roller rocker department. I do have maybe a half second delay when I floor it before I'm in the boost, but once I'm at 1-2 lbs it seems to be instant 25#lbs boost from there.
I've noticed that some of the faster guys have the cam numbers switched, say a 218/210 grind instead of the 210/215 that I run.

TWIN86GNS,
210/215 roller over hear from Mike at Full Throttle mated to 1:65 roller rockers in champion iron heads, 98% street car, lights up the tires at 55 mph in 3rd gear when you go WOT. Not scary, but you can hear them spinning.
Earl,
Thanks for this information above, good stuff!

Dave,
I'm in google chrome right now for my browser, and when I hit "quote" to highlight what you just wrote in the thread above this one, nothing happens. So for the last few months I'm thinking, "wonder why it's not working, I must be doing something wrong". But today for the heck of it I fired up IE instead of Chrome and it works.

Thanks Dave, so why are they like animals around the house?  ? Just kidding..... I guess  Paul mentioned on the old hang out board that Rodney may have some valve train issue.... What did you see Gary? And Gary, glad to see you at the track, and Ray Ann.... oh, and your son Thomas, man that guy can drive your Buick !!! As far as the award goes, I believe someone said it was about 60 cars and 18 trophy's, they did a points style judging contest, so maybe it was a award for who dropped the most money in there car in the last 5 yrs??

Steve,
I think he's saying that he has two different situations, the brake light won't go out since he converted to the vacuum set-up.
The 2nd problem is using a paper clip to jump the box under the dash to retrieve the codes on the SES light that is on in his dash, doesn't do anything.
Shmed,
Like Gary mentioned, the emergency brake isn't on by chance? May want to check the switch down there is ok.
Chuck
