Hi Rey,
Nothing special on the CART clearance just standard 2 to 3 mm. Those
engines have paper thin pistons and cams with BIG lifts and LONG durations.
To top it off they run on Metanol so High Compression ratios are standard,
and they reved to 14K+. So, not much room for any extra freedom

The rest of the stuff is coming .. the business with the shifting
point should have came out in the bundle I sent you with the air
