Engine Build Lash Tightening

Big-Block Chevy Engine Build - 707 HP For $6,720
Tightening the lash from 0.016 inch to 0.013 inch increased the lobe duration at 0.050 inch roughly 3 degrees. This cost a little power below peak torque but bumped peak horsepower by 5 and got us over the 700hp threshold. View Related Article
