That's what I originally thought too. If someone is running this
combo then trust that more than this info that was given to me. It was
probably Crower that provided this info. Could have been tryin' to sell
the regrind.
Possibly the extra duration along with the increased lift causes
trouble.....I'm not runnin' either of these so, again, trust someone who
is.

As with any cam swap where the p2v clearance could be an issue the only
sure guarantee is to check. I hope I just didn't pass bogus info on to you
guys...only something I was forewarned of. Wouldn't be the first time I
stuck my foot in my mouth. 8^)
