Wow, that is an impressive motor. But I have a question for you. The website advertises the motor as a "street motor", but it runs a solid roller cam. From what I have heard/read, solid rollers aren't necessarily the best choice for the street and don't have a long life expectancy on the street. Since the motor makes its peak power by 6000 rpm, could you build this motor with a hyd roller cam instead so you don't have to worry about running a solid roller on the street? How much performance, if any, do you think you would lose with a hyd roller?
