 Cam'd Up Our cam was ordered...  Cam'd UpOur cam was ordered with the patented nitriding process, which uses pulsed nitrogen plasma to infuse nitrogen ions into the steel. In order words, it's the best way to increase the hardness and lubricity of flat tappet cams to help enhance break-in and durability. | THE SPECS | | Lobe separation | 113 | | Duration at 0.050 | 230 intake, | | 244 exhaust | | Lobe lift | 0.327 intake, | | 0.334 exhaust |  With the new cam lubed up...  With the new cam lubed up and stuffed in, we fitted the timing gear and chain back onto the front of the motor.

We used hydraulic flat tappets not only because they're simple to install and reliable, but also to keep the cost down compared to their roller counterparts. We ordered our Comp lifters in the Pro Magnum series, which tend to run $15 more than the normal lifters, but they're designed for added load and upper-rpm hits, which makes them a perfect match to our blower combination.  Our Fel-Pro gaskets were next....  Our Fel-Pro gaskets were next. We applied silicone on the water ports, laid down the gaskets, and planted the supplied Holley blower manifold. We reused our old bolts, tightening them to 15 ft-lb.  Weiand supplies a gasket and...  Weiand supplies a gasket and includes the four bolts for the blower assembly. We added a bit of antiseize to the threads for good measure and torqued the unit down to 10 ft-lb.
