I suspect the cams were not degreed, or degreed correctly. The first thing you loose with non degreed cams is tq.

I think he said somewhere that they locked the VCT out and that wouldn't help the TQ or HP #'s either.

Good point. I think the phaser limiters might have been the better choice.

Powdercoated valve covers. Engine bays a little dirty form driving in rain all day.

And maybe you can see the Timing covers are also re-painted in a aluminum color.
