Not Ranked
There seems to be three basic levels of hydraulic roller cams that are custom made for the 482 by various engine builders. This is just my impression, of course.
Durations of 235-245, 245-255 and 255-265. Of course, I'm just rounding for simplicity. Lift generally runs between 600-650. When you get too far over 650, then there seems to be a requirement to go to a solid roller.
My Crower is a steel billet hydraulic roller cam with a LSA 112, 245/252 duration and .630/.651 lift. I think it's just about perfect. Not too small and not too big. My engine was dyno'ed at 605 HP at 5,600 RPM and 613 Tq at 4,600 RPM.
I'm with xracerbob, I may add the Dynatek down the road, when I'm rich and bored.
Regarding the pre-oiler, there are many top notch people on this forum who run them. The Shelby block has a priority main oiling system, so it's possible this may alleviate some or all of the oiling issue mentioned above. Dunno.
