Joe,
It works for me. I ran two seasons with this set up. I won the flag race at
Buttonwillow last year in a 40 car field, and blew a large hole in my block at
the
very next race at Tustin Thunder due to a spun #3 rod bearing. I used the same
recipe
on my new engine except I indexed the cam this time and replaced the stock rods
with
the Carillo's $$$. They are supposed to be much kinder to the bearings. Good
luck
with Tiny Tim. -Bill Manning-VARA E/P Spit #3
