Not really looking for a bunch of HP. Around 400 would be nice. I also don't figure I'll really rev it that high very often, however, with the wonderful sound coming from those crossover exhausts, I'd love for it to be able turn some R's on occasion. Realisticly, I'm thinking it would be more like 7000-7200 rpm, and then only on rare occasions. I'm leaning toward fuel injection, so I'm hoping that will help with the streetability some, also, I'm not really sure I need to go with a solid roller at this time. Can a hyd roller handle the occasional burst to 7000-7200. I just don't know. This is why I'm asking for some input.

I've got a pretty good engine builder who is going to do the machine work, and I'm sure we'll set down and make sure all the parts are going to work well together.
