No hijack intended, but what happened to the Raby 9550 cam? and what is the difference between it and the 9590?

Can't remember the number but maybe it is the 9590. Sorry no details and no confidence in the answer, but I bet I am somewhat right> only bet a nickel on it tho. |

I ordered a 9550 kit on a Friday. The following Monday they announced that 9550 was discontinued and replaced with 9590. So on my next build I guess I'll go with the 9590. They say timing is everything and my life is full of stories of being a day late or in this case a day early. I'd be disappointed except that my engine runs so sweet and gets 33-35mpg. So thanks Jake for the engineering, and Len for the head and case work and a little advice, and LN for taking on the store. And in another sense, I guess timing IS everything! A good engineer's motto. |
