Damn Chief, you aren't messing around. Your Camaro appears to be all business. Are you running a solid roller cam? How'd you bend those push rods? I had a small block 400 with a solid roller that I used to shift at 7000-8000 range and never had a valve train malfunction like that. I used a rev kit and had Comp Cams push rods. I did have chronic overheating problems with that motor though. That was a few years ago when we were all still driving around with 11 to 1 compression and horsepower came with a price of having a semi unreliable car. I'm surprised I didn't blow that motor up when I look back at it. Anyways, you have a cool looking set up.
