LLAMAS?? i thought cars were measured in horsepower, not llama power...

why don't you talk to the people who built your engine, as i doubt you put together a "450whp" motor by yourself. they should recommend you the best valvetrain/cams for your setup

let's see the dyno results of your motor by the way

 

so yea that was no help

im the one putting the motor together i do know how to turn a wrench i was jus lookn for some reliable info not sarcasim

ill post dyno numbers when the motor is done and in the car!

 

turn a wrenche is different then knowing the specs and tolerances of building a motor....precision is key there

is 450whp your goal?

EDIT: by the way, yes i knew it was Lost Motion Assembly...and i'm glad you picked up on my sarcasm

 

yes 450 is my goal, the bottom end is together, now im workin on the head, jus got it back from porting, so i gotta put it back together now, so do you know anything about puttn h22 lmas into a b series vtec head?


oh and i own a chiltons manual, and a torque wrench as well, and i can read

 

The information I've read indicates a .040" desired thickness for the shims.

 

thank you very much, this is the info i was lookn for!
