sorry you feel that way

having seen the difference, and having gotten the feedback from others who also have, there is very real "practical experience" on this - mine was off almost 5 degrees from the factory - ran ok - ran better when it was right

obviously you have not had the benefit of experiencing the difference when it is done "right", and only the experience of doing it "good enough" - if i had to guess it was at least 5hp and a noticeable torque difference at 2500

even the workshop manual tells you to use dial indicators to set the cams (see page 15-3)

yes, you can slap it together - yes, it will run - you might get lucky and get it bang on - you might not - you won't know without the tools

you can pound a nail with a 2 lb sledgehammer too

call pete - he'll be happy to fill you in
