So I'm at a junction here. The machine shop is taking forever to get the head done. They say it'll be done middle of this coming week, which will mean they've had it for a month.
Then the shop needs to get my car back into their schedule, but the tech is leaving for Nationals at Indy September 18th. My last track day of the season is October 7th.
At this point, if the shop doesn't think they can realistically get me the car back before my last track day, I'm thinking I might as well have a set of high compression pistons dropped in, along with swapping from the street Schrick cams to a higher profile set of Schricks.
With the aftermarket pistons I'll have more piston to valve clearance so I can run the wilder cams without having to limit the vanos travel. Shop said it's another 5 hours of machine work for the bottom end/piston work. I need to find out if the maching shop is dropping in the pistons/rings/bearings for that or not and what the shops time table is.
