So I ordered cams and shaved the heads and changed all my seals and gears and gaskets. Unfortunately the cams never came through, and I grew impatient and put the thing back together. BUT I changed the bolts on the cam gears to make a 6+ hour cam installation only take 30 minutes when I do finally get to put them in. I cancelled my Schrick order and am going with something custom, so I'll be glad when I can do a quick cam swap on the fly without taking off the front cover.

Oooh, look at the pretty head.

I know that the AMG engine had a lower compression ratio to allow more boost. Sounds like you are going to be pushing the limits of that baby.
