Some people have had issues with flat tappet cams in the past

Whether it was a break in issue, hardening issue on the cam or lifters, lifter bore off center is still debated heavily to this day.

I personally have used this cam and found it to be very good.

If you are doing a flat tappet make sure you follow a good break in procedure and you should have many trouble free miles.
