I'm willing to bet that people with boost creep are the same ones running disgustingly restrictive stock exhaust elbows. The cars at my house both have aftermarket divided elbows.
Again, more hearsay with cam wear. If your rockers are scored, replace them with something else. I'd pull beautiful shiney mirror-like rockers out of old G20's with 150k+ miles at LKQ back when I used to go. If you want to know the truth, when I used new cams with new rockers once, it developed a really odd wear pattern of streaks. Some other experts confirmed that they'd seen it happen as well, but had no idea why. Everything turned out fine. I've put new cams on used rockers at least 4 times and never had an issue with wear.
cool, well then ill start looking for some used ones to hawk. Im pretty much going with the advice from my friend whom is helping me build the motor. h has alot of provn stuff too, but the rockers he said was from his research.
and as far as the EX WG goes, i have already purchased it, and plan to run it. on the 2871 thread alot of the guys making great numbers swear by running them so i going to give it a try. I do think rather then having tommy weld it, ill make a bracket or something to just hold it shut.
