    Dave,
    Great to see your posts...Just went through the stage 4's..last time was probably in the 90's sometime. I was amazed at the avaialability from PAC and others on a 1.550 spring, retainers and positioning keepers. Ended up with an easy 230 seat preasure close to 800 over the nose which allowed me to keep the Ta shaft set up for now...bigger cam with bigger airflow will be a different story, but that's down the road.

    Good to hear from you Buddy!

    Cody, is that everything?? Buying the rocker set up, machining, all the valves, springs, retainers, valve job, and setting up of the heads??

    Gary,
    It was said to me. "The kit and machine work would be approximately $2800 to $3500 and would take about 4-6 weeks to complete."

    I just finished installing a T&D setup for stage II SE heads. I did it myself, it required a milling machine and a lot of patience. I had some problems with the T&D hardware, they fixed it, but it took a while. The pushrod holes had to be elongated toward the intake manifold as well, which was complicated because i have heavily ported heads in which the pushrod holes interfere with the ports, I had to sleeve them with brass. I'd be happy to discuss on the phone with anybody that is contemplating the change, feel free to contact me via direct message or call at five oh threee 805 8341. I can also email pictures of the finished product - but if I were contemplating the job I'd want to know what pitfalls to avoid, and the pictures won't show that.
