If you don't mine me asking, how much less did it cost to install the cam
without removing the motor? I've been thinking of having this mod done in the
near future myself. Also, how did the cam affect gas mileage, low, mid, and
upper rpm power, etc? Did you install new valve springs, roller rockers, etc.
while you were there? Thanks.
