Ray, sounds like you are going a little wilder with this motor, it will be sweet in your car.

This isn't the original so he's not as worried about something happening to it.

It's not as easy as I thought it would be, trying to figure out a good reliable street combination. I've been getting a lot of different inputs on which way to go with this roller set up. Still up in the air on hydraulic or mechanical. they both have their place.
It was a lot easier when just puting a flat tappet in was okay.

Rick, How is your trans swap coming along?

Ray, my buddy Eric (the one with the yellow 69) has a solid in it and real likes it and only adjust them once a year and he runs the car hard once in a while.

Me myself will be putting a roller in it next year as my project. As for the transmission I have it installed and almost all put back together...I'm working on fabbing the tunnel which has become quiet a job, but at least I don't have to get back under the car. At least the dynamat will cover up my bad metal fab skills.

I was always told to pick a cam with a power band thats in your operating range.I dont shift past 6000 and I have a 2500 stall converter so I picked a 1500-6500 cam.When Im at a cruze my rpm is usuly above 1500 so I dont get drive train surge.In my opinion solid lifters are more geared for racing rather than street use.Pick your cam and your cam card will take the guess work out of everything else.
