Too bad you arent closer or I would help you out.
I did see that on there. I was actually going to pm you about that ot-2 that is on there bc it would work perfectly with you lc-1. But then it sold before I had the chance.

Appreciate the offer. I wish there was someone around here who had done one before bc I would always like to have a second set of eyes/hands helping.

What kinds of performance gains will you be expecting with the cam you chose?

Franks claims something like 40 - 45rwhp and 45 torque with this cam. I am not expecting quite that much running it just on the SC tune but if I put a psc1 on it, then I would hope to get those type numbers.

I read a little about it in the for sale post and that thing sounds pretty sweet. I had never heard about them before he posted that up.

yeah I was disappointed when he came back and said it was sold and didnt even respond to my PM. I just hope the guy that bought it didnt think that was a great deal because it wasnt. Its a nice piece of equipment but not "used" and for 165.

But that Sidewinder is a good cam. I definitely noticed a difference over the stock cam after 2500-3000 RPM and that was on a SC3865. Are you going to pull your heads to change the springs?

$15 off the list price isn't a deal at all. And if he didn't respond to pm's then you probably don't want to deal with him anyway.

Still haven't decided on the heads. On one hand, if I do pull the heads I don't need to get a spring compressor or compression test kit to change the springs. But on the other hand, I have to get new head bolts and gaskets. I am going to talk to my dad's buddy who works on engines and see what he thinks will be easier and see if he will give me a hand.

Man i was SO going to buy that OT-2 to go with my LC-1 but oh well. For his asking price I would have bought it new anyway.

Head bolts from Hensons arent but 35 bux but the gaskets are 65. Thats 100 right there. Then you still gotta buy that spring compressor. Will you need new exhaust gaskets? Because I dont think youre going to get those heads out of there with LTs still attached.......LOL

Or you can leave the heads on, get that compressor from Draggin-Accord on DT for 75 and be done with it.
