You say the timing belt was done 1500 miles ago, what were the cams set up to? Has it been rolling roaded since then?

And, what cams are they? I'm assuming from the quoted power/torque you're running at least .445in lift/298deg??

Also, the MBE management - are we talking 956e? Or later generation 967++?

Cheers.
