I don't know if you could bench an auto even in your prime, I have no doubt you could toss a manual though.

Just so we wouldn't have to take the car back apart even a little, do it once you know....long story short, I got hughes on the case and IIRC he got a set of 272's for about $160...just sayin
I don't know what you are saying.
But to be clear, if I could find cams cheap enough I'd get them. But I'm trying to purchase things only once here, and from what I'm finding a cam for a 2.0 won't be that effective on a 2.3. I'm aiming to get GSC S2Rs. The R designation seems to be for strokers, also autos and choosing cams seems to be not as easy as just dumping a set in like with a manual.

Anywho, you find me some decent 272s for $160 I'm game. To hit my goal I'm gonna need them though and a SMIM.

This week looks to be busy, not sure if I'll be able to get back to her till friday.
