[Shotimes] Cheap Performance Upgrades

[SHOWHAT9@aol.com]

I can think of 381 good reasons why you should weld your cams asap. See http://www.v8sho.com/SHO/CamFailureLinks.htm
These are real people who thought it would never happen to them. 
Frankly, If you are aware and choose to ignore the reality, I have littly sympathy. It's not a question of if, only of when. 
You will spend about as much as you would for a better than average set of tires. Like Paul said, ignore it and youwill have an expensive lawn ornament with a decent stereo in your yard.
