Driving it up to map in a few minutes to have the nhra chassis inspector check it out. Hopefully it should pass with flying colors. Let me know if you need a hand with your car!

Good thing I decided to do a cam swap, I found 3 of the 5 nuts on my adjustable cam gears were finger tight. The shield plate that attaches to the head had one of the small fasteners ready to fall out. Who knows another couple of miles and the whole motor could have been F’d. Now the cam gears have Locktite Red applied.

The idle is a little rougher, not too bad though. You can physically see the difference in the cams when you set them side by side with the S3’s. The S3’s are monsters. I wish I could have done them when I built the motor, since I’m a little concerned about valve to piston clearance. I’m just going to let her buck and see what happens. I took the car around the block in front wheel drive mode and the tires break free at about 15 psi making the care useless. Now I know why transfer cases take so much abuse, it’s like the front have no aid in the traction department. These 1G’s are closer to rear wheel drives.

Now I just need to get the transfer case in it and tune it up, should be exciting!

Woo! Good to see a few cars getting ready for proving grounds! I'm excited to see you and Kevin both make some passes in this year. We have to have some fast cars around here, seems there's quite a few really quick 1g's nationwide this year.

Most after market pistons have enough room with a 1mm over valve.

Good to know John, I took a compression check after I smoked the front tires to almost 8k. All is good!

I took out the broken transfer case and replaced it with a factory one. Now it's just a matter of some tuning and an oil change to get the new cams dialed in.

Pic of the broken case:
