Had it out again tonight for a 10 mile spin...sounds great! Should I wait to get some miles on the new cam and the valve job before putting heavy boost to it....24lbs, I guess heavy boost is a relative term :D

Have you retorqued the head and intake bolts after a couple of heat cycles?  Some may disagree...

I don't think you are supposed to retorque ARPs...

I retroqued the the studs when I did mine. That is why I use that Indian head stuff as it takes quite a while for it to harden up.

My understanding is stock type composite do not require a re-torque steel shim or coppers do.
