D'Agostino had no opinion? I thought they were top notch?

I wonder who their mechanic is now. When they first opened up they had a badass mechanic, but then they decided they wanted to go a cheaper route, and now since I moved up north I have no idea who the mechanic is now.

Here is the 3rd chime for valve spring harmonics. It's very common.

does that mean they just need to be properly adjusted, or are they going bad?

Means they are the wrong ones for those cam lobes!

Did the HP take a big dumb past 6200? With 238° intake duration that shouldn't happen.

it looks like it was starting to go down around 6200, and being unsure about the springs i was scared to rev it much higher than that, so i dont know how much of a dump it really takes.

i cant remember for the life of me what springs i bought. i guess i could hunt back through my receipts (if i kept it).

i also thought this came would spin alot higher, so what springs should i get?

PAC Beehives. I have no clue about the cam lobes but most Cam Motion stuff is pretty tame.
