ok well i do have a mechanical background and as u said porting heads isnt childs play u can hurt down low power very easy and with the camshaft im going to use my bench grinder to grind the cam lol no i have to people i use for cam grinding crow cams and wade cams sa for the solid and hyd cam debate the engine will have a broader tork curve with a sloid cam than with a hyd in other words to get the same power as a solid cam the hyd one i have to use will loose alot of bottom end tork and as for the adjustment maybe i will have to do it once a year with the oil change and its on a four and how much do u use a boat not like a car nearly all cars have solid lifeter now well there shimed and most of them the engine dies before they get adjusted 
as for fuel side of it yes we do have high octane fuel at the pump and the dizzy will more and likely get recurved for the new cam specs 
no has told me wether the 3.7 come with flat top pistons i posted some pics of some but it would be good for some one to say yeas they did 
high commpression is not the only thing that make engines ping its bad chamber shape and and piston deck hieght  
  
well i really think its a good trade of for some extra tork just to adjust tappets once a year  
  
have i slowed down 59mph
