Some truth to this. If Larry is really interested in a Blueprint model, it may be worth a call to see if a bit smaller cam can be installed for his intended purpose.

Blueprint will not sub out any part on their builds. I tried to get them to swap a water pump on a SBF application ordered directly through them. No luck, was a mute point as the car had the wrong stuff anyways and the engine came with what was needed to make it right.

Oh, ok thank you for this. I didn't know that, but suspected that was the case.
