Makes perfect sence to me ^^^^. You're gonna have to wind it up for all that.
I still have trouble discounting the horrors of loosing solid lifter needle bearings on the street after a couple thosand miles. However, the hybrid, tight lash setups don't seem to suffer from that problem.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
