UPDATE: Talked to tech support at Ford Racing (they built the stroker kit) the guy attributed the piston ring gap issue to the last guy that put it together not paying attention. DO NOT put the oil control ring gap above the wrist pin. (DUH!) He said I'm good to go there, .030" end gap and we're even good for 150hp worth of snow.
So, I said to myself "Self, (that's what I call myself when I talk to myself.) Self, put Mr. Nasty cam back in, and let's see what we can make a 347 do. So it's back in, the X303 has about 12 tubes worth of grease on it and saranwrapped, with matching numbered grease covered roller lifters.
Heading out now to degree Mr. Nasty in. Now all I need are some rockers, and it's GAME ON!
