?!?! Wow! That's good to know. I haven't dealt with Kammer &
Kammer personally, but one would *think* that they know what they're
doing, based on all the trucks they've been involved with. With an
attitude like that though, you can be sure I won't be going to them
for anything anytime soon! Geoff, you might want to check with Hughes
Engines. (http://www.hughesengines.com) They seem to be the leader
in the world of Mopar camshafts.
Heh - still getting a kick out of that "not a real racer" comment,
Ray... When I think of "real racers", your name is pretty darn close
to the top of the list!! (Anyone who wins enough to make their daily
driver pay for itself is a real racer in my book!) :-) Someone should
tell Bob that a "real wrench" DOES care about that stuff, especially
when its somebody else's vehicle they're working on!!!!
Oh well. :-P
