I have an awesome 2056 motor. Problem is, its too racy. It doesnt really come on cam until 4000 rpm, then it pulls like a horse to 6500rpm. hi compression, either 10.5:1 or 11:1, depending on whose notes on the build sheet I believe.

Sine I am done racing this car fulltime, and motor only has 30 hours on it since a refresh, I am hopeful that replacing the cam and lowering compression will be enough to make this streetable. of course, there will be more tuning involved than this, but, basically, those will be my first two steps.

I have chosen a Webcam 86a, with new drilled lifters. I can pretty much estimate all the costs associated with this except, splitting the case and replacing cam.

What do you think a good builder, like Jorge at European Motorworks, would charge for that part of the process?
