See?  That's graphical confirmation of what your butt told ya. :)

Yep, that's the one.  I actually don't have a Euro intake cam, I had Delta 
Cam regrind my intake.  I'm going to call again to verify it, but they have 
a few iterations -- mine apparently is slightly more aggressive than the 
Euro cam.  We'll see if it makes a difference.

Yeah, any "hotter" cam will generally have longer duration, and generally 
also higher lift.


>Also porting and polishing the head will help as well?

Of course.


>(Like Julie needs any more power)

Right -- get used to this power first and then we can tawlk. :-)
