I've had two 455's in here over 9 to 1 compression using that cam, and one used the HR version of it, XR276HR, and both pinged EVERYWHERE unless we pulled a ton of timing out of them, and ran like crap as well......FWIW.....Cliff
Thanks Cliff ... I have a feeling this is the problem. I am going to try the easy stuff first ... then if I have to change the cam ... I may just pull the whole engine and take it to Butler and have the whole thing done over.
