First bout with restrictor instead of thermostat & why Mondello recommended a cam shaft

[thomas g. warner]

Heinz forgot to tell you that I also asked Joe Mondello about why his
technician recommended a camshaft to you when you were replacing the timing
chain. He told me that most people are also replacing the lifters at the
same time and so have the intake manifold off. Something interesting he
said. Many of the aftermarket camshafts are not all that accurate in valve
timing and that is why he sells one now for the GMC motorhome. I will be
interested in knowing if there is any performance increase with yours.

I didn't install it as we didn't have the intake manifold off.
Not sure yet whether to "keep it on the shelf" for when it is off or to
return them (cam and lifters)

Thanks for asking him though...
However, I'm still of the opinion that they need to classify or caveat their
answers better between racing and recreation.
