Yeah Iāve talked to Kevin throughout, the secret isnāt in the parts or build, the secret is to keep your expectations low lol. This car sees 4 track days a year and a few thousand street miles. I have no doubt the CPC is the superior build for reliability. But I love FPC like a child. But the...
Well, i found part of a ring in my valves, so the bottom end was broken, and the heads were damaged so... This happened at Road America. I can post some pics of the damage. But i understand your point, it makes perfect sense to me. And i didnt feel like i was "skimping out" as the cams in these...
I plan on keeping them for now. I'll be doing a bunch of duct work/cooling this winter and I'm sure ill be bothered by the condenser and that will be enough justification to get rid of the A/C all together. I do like driving it on the street too lol

Cost is around $15k-ish for all parts and labor.

Once break in is through I'll post dyno numbers.
