Thanks David, for more of the real world comments.
Can you tell me why you decided on flat tappets?
Cheers,
Because back in the mid 90's when I built this engine, it was to be a street cruiser/show car/sunday driver and I was dirt poor and the camshaft with lifters from SUMMIT at that time was about $79.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every street engine I've built for myself since has gotten a hydraulic roller camshaft....
My race engine uses a solid lifter,roller camshaft.......

The hydraulic roller camshafts just have so much more to offer,it's a no-brainer for me...
