Congrats I like the tip of the hat to Dr. Who on the license plate.

I am a huge Dr. Who fan so I couldn't drive my mini without at least a little tip to him.  My real plate actually reads thedoctr hahaha.  The car feels amazing though 3500-4k rpms and it pulls really well.  Overall the car feels just happier though.  With the ported head and big valves its just munching on tons of air.  Man I love this car!!

What did you set your valve clearances to?

I think I put the same cam in Buzz and it just sounds loud, at least at idle. Once the rpms are above idle it quiets down some.....

Let me check with my mechanic cause I can't remember what we did.

I set mine to 15 thou at TDC firing, but they tick pretty good there....
