One thing that you might want to do and I highly recommend is contact Keith Craft and have him sell you the cam, lifters, distributor gear, push rods and tell him what you are looking for as far as torque and RELIABILITY. In other words an engine targeted to run 5K miles is built more radical than 100K miles. The idiots techs you are talking too at comp, lunatti, crane, are just that idiots. You need someone who installs these things and has a track records. Surprisingly his prices are the same as what you get them from summit or jegs. what spring pressures are they recommending? I had a comp cam that floated the valves with their recommended springs at 5600 rpm, there response "valve float is an issue over 5500 rpms would you like us to sell you some heavier springs" wtf, all my expense and labor. Make sure you get a billet cam not sadi cast bullsheet. Once again KC knows this stuff.
