Another question though. I have a Lunati bracket master cam that I am about to set the lash with. Should I just go with the lash on the spec card, or would it be safe to tighten it up .005-.010? I feel that my motor would like the little bit more lift.
I've seen a few horsepower gain by doing this:Set the valves at the recommended setting on the cam card.Take a compression test reading on that cylinder.Tighten the lash up another .002 and take another compression reading.Keep doing this till you get the highest compression reading.But don't go more than .010 from the spec card.If it keeps getting higher compression readings after .008-.010 than you could probably use a little more cam.If the compression falls off than you have too much cam.
