Hey Mike

I'm seriously thinking about that...flat tappets be sounding verry verry good to me. If I was racing all the time, the 20 or so horses and the other characteristics of the roller cam/lifters would make some sense. Worrying about that damn gear and keeping the valves in adjustment are not fun giving the long drives we take.

I was sitting over at Boghosian's today looking at Dick Smith's motor...flat tappets seemed to do ok for him.


Sizzler...yup, the production motor type cams do have that...maybe in a year the mfgs will move to them for this racing stuff. BTW, who are you quoting?
