I took a look at FRPP site and it shows the E303 as a emission legal cam. Is this the cam your using? My understanding is if the part had an EO# then it was good in all states...particularly Calif....

From a four to an eight..very nice! I noticed on the charts your AF ratio was much better (leaner) than mine. I see you use a fuel regulator. Did you and how much did you have to adjust it to get...

Re: Any cam idea's ?

I see you are turning some very good times in the quarter. Your rwhp is lots better than mine. What mods do you have? Are they legal?

Are you talking about getting with a Comp, Crane, Lunati tech etc and having them grind me something legal? Would this get me what I want?
