...don't worry guys it could be back to stock in a weekend....

I appreciate your input Pete.

You could most likely get away quite well with the SU1R, assuming it was ground to the original master profile.
In any case it would be a good idea to degree it in the block you will run it in. Then you will know what you have.
Info on degreeing a cam can be found with a Google search

I degree'd the su1a today and realized I had a +3 degree cam gear.( that's what the +3 means duh!) and also realized I might have the cams mixed up. So I am going to order another cam gear. and degree the 1R which is the one i will use. I definitely don't know what all the cam card stuff means, as the 1A seemed smaller than the 1R on paper.

Again ,thanks for the advice!
