How well does ceramic work with titanium? It work's OK with iron, and great with aluminum, but no one has ever said anything about titanium. (I'll call NASA! J/K)

Yeah, I'm gonna turbo it. I want to live up to my user name!

I've already got the cam thing figured out. Comp Cams has something, but the redline is 6500RPM, so I might just special order something according to what I find works best in my dyno test software. It's wierd though. According to my tests, the top end hydraulic cam (redline 5800RPM) works better than the top end solid cam (redline 6500RPM). But my engine has had a history in NASCAR of doing strange things like that (like making 275 N/A HP, then after it broke in, it went to 500 N/A HP!!!, and it's a 4 cylinder!!!)

I found titanium springs, retainers, and valves, so I'll definitly get them, but I'm not sure about the cam. I'll just have to do more research.
