Some good points Mike. I think it is important for folks to know comming into this sort of project, what sort of costs to expect. Built engine, built or different transmission etc.

Do you have any predictions as to where the peak power will occur with the new cam grinds? I understand we won't really know until we tune, but I'm wondering if I will need to cheat my TCU to shift higher at WOT.
