The engine ran great. Pulled hard from 2000 rpm all the way to 5500 rpm. There was a lot less spark knock this time, especially when I timed it by ear. Can't beat the ear.
Killed my original speedometer. It just couldn't keep up anymore. Had to use the cell phone speedometer app. After a couple hours of enjoyment the clutch decided it was all done too. Hit it really hard in second gear and found out there wasn't enough clutch plate left to grab with all that HP. I 'm very happy with the performance from the Edelbrock round port heads with the 2157 cam. Very smooth running and more power than most cars could even use on the street. This adventure with the big cam and then the smaller one has taught me how much I appreciate a smooth idle. Smooth idle with lots of power, that's the sweet spot for me.
