I got a .465 lift 220* at .050 cam. How fast do you want to go? You gotta pull the head to change cams so you might want to go with a bigger custom right away. Custom Erson cams are reasonable. I may go bigger this year to make sure I reach my goals. Later Ryan |

Ryan what's up. My goal is high tens low elevens. If I go with a upgraded cam should I also change lifters as well? Also should I look into arp bolts for the internal components,is there a complete kit of do I have to buy the sets individualy? Also I read a lot about copper head gasket where do I find one of those? Lastly who makes a good gasket kit for the /6 Thanks Aaron |

I usually run at Lapper dragway. Hussy copper will make you a head gasket just about any thickness you want. Seach the site. There was a group buy here last year. |

You should always change the lifters with the cam.Thanks Aaron After breakin, each lobe and lifter becomes a matched set. So if you ever remove the cam and lifters, remember which lifter goes with which lobe. |

Say, I have the .046 Hussey copper and a felpro set. make sure you get the intake gasket from 66aCuda. Shaker would know if there is another set of head bolt available. I think there was about 7 custom sets made at the higher 220,000 psi? I didn't know there was a group buy on the copper sets. I paid around $80 each. Later |

$80 is what I paid for my gasket....66aCuda has the spare set of head studs. Check to see if he is willing to part!!!

You need to call Hussy. You need to know the gasket thickness you want. Turn around was pretty quick. The block, head or both should be o-ring'd. I did the block only. |
