Yeah, it really needs a solid cam. Hydraulics just aren't the best choice for higher rpms. You can tell that we were starting to lose some lifter function towards the end of the pull.

When you master the car with this cam, maybe we can do a cam swap later on. The valve springs are enough to support a mild solid roller and everything else will support it.

For a lower compression engine with an intake right out of the box, I'm really impressed with it. I left the intake on the small side so that it would help with velocity on the smaller engine. The throttle response should be crisp and the torque curve is broad enough that it should really help you on exit.
