    I just popped that cam in my engine yesterday, and I'm trying it out with the stamped steel rockers (after reading a few posts here). Hoping to fire it up tomorrow. Have to put it in the car after work today =P

    ... that was considered months ago. Dan kept that cam ... and ordered the TA290-08H per MY and TA Performance's request. I actually called TA "after" Dan ordered the cam ... and got proof.

    Hey, I totally understand a few things;

    1. Dan screwed-up some guy's motor.
    2. Dan pissed me off with the promises of my motor at earlier dates.
    2A. Thank God my motor is ready for pick-up tomorrow morning.
    3. I am NOT here to participate in "The Prosecution of Daniel Smith."
    4. I pray to God my motor is good ... just like I did with Pee-Gee's.
    5. You can TAKE the HORSE to the WATER ... but you CAN'T MAKE HIM DRINK IT.:laugh:

    SO-FAR-SO-GOOD.:3gears:

    Ya, about half a dozen times..

    Shafts can break, do a search on "roller rocker holddown" and you will see how we cured that problem with the more aggressive street cams.

    Mr. Weise, please be brutally honest with me (I heavily RESPECT your expertise); if I have a lower seat pressure (I have NO clue what the heck that is), Stage-1 valve springs, and the TA290-08H cam w/stock rockers but with TA's hardened rocker shafts ... Is my motor safe? Do you recommend my buying the roller-rocker assembly????:pray:

    Thanks for your time.

    If you have hardened shafts you should be fine.

    "I LOVE YOU, MAN!!!:beers2:
    I had this huge ball of anxiety about to explode my chest wide-open (the therapy for my "anxiety-issues" apparently were a waste of money and time (lolllll)! NOW I can actually ... sleep.:Dou:

    Mr. Weise ... AGAIN; You-Are-Indeed ... A KING-OF-KINGS!!!:TU::TU:

    Thank you adamantly.

    LOLLL; Join-The-Club! lol
    The suspense made me lose 3-pounds, and gain a few more strands of gray hair, Pal (lol).

    Sometimes my OCD-on-Axis2 takes a vacation... this time in the form of (real-life-important-family-fun as in my Princess' H.S. Prom ... and the following week .. more $$$ lol) ... my Princess' High School Graduation Ceremony ... then the Graduation Party (I know some of you fellows know this oh-so-well ... lol) ... THEN THE FREAKING GIFT (again, $$$$) lol.

    I actually was avoiding/not replying to even DAN's calls/text messages.:cool:

    LOLLL, So-Far-So-Good!!!:3gears:

    ... Dan kept his word regarding the '86-'87 turbo Buick Regal front air spoiler. He gave me that, and the two ""T" emblems (my '87 Special-T w/Olds 307 was missing the one one the passenger's side).

    This is my "1st" high-stall converter ... Dan stated, "We made it as tight as possible."

    Additionally ... he DID send my 1973 Buick 455 Rochester out for a rebuild/rejetting job. In closing ... my '74 H.E.I. was untouched ... and rus-tee! lol

    My tranny builder is going to rebuild it for me anyway.:laugh: I bought the Hypertech street/strip cap & rotor set @ 2 months ago from Summit.:cool:

    ":3gears:THANK GOD ... SO-FAR-SO-GOOD."

    He told me that he broke four bumpers with his "4-wheels-off-the-ground launches" with the TURBO V6 that he and Dan built.:beers2:
