    Well, the wife is cool with getting a new cam!

    So where do I start. What is the minimum dur/specs I should be looking at?

    Did your ping start:
    1. When this engine was newly rebuilt?
    2. Or, did it start some time after you broke it in?

    Some time after. I used to be able to take it to 140 MPH easy. It may have started after I swapped the 71 dizzy with 75 EFI. Not sure.

    Ok, on the way to work tonight I filled up my tank with 91 octane and added a bottle of octane booster. Now it runs great it only pings just a tad at 99-100% throttle, it used to do it at 85% and up.

    I guess I'll do that for awhile.

    Smooth, scary smooth. I have the duck bill air dam on the front so it doesn't float very much.
