[V8] GB on reground cams..& other goodies

[Ron Wainwright]

Shane, yes when doing the "whole enchilada" doing some
"extra" work is prolly best. But
I did mention...

..."& for those that wouldn't want to do the oversized
> valves or the HD valve springs the cost of the cam
> regrind would still be $950."

 But for someone who is concerned with $$$ factor..I
think Mikes still gathering info on his end?..Hey Mike
any word?

 But I'll be doing what I proposed. & do the "extra" +
a little more ;-) work. Cause I would HATE to know
that I could have spend a little more $$ to get the
best results I could!

 Thanx
