Dave.... Did you talk to the cam makers, before going with that much lift?? I've used that much lift and ended up breaking lifters the last 2 yrs. After talking to Compcams, whose lifters I was using, I was told that you can't use that much lift on the street and can't run the engine under 3000 rpms. When I told them I got about 2000 miles on the engine, the said I was lucky, as they should have only lasted about 800 and about 1000 for the springs...
