I wish some of the flat tappet cam guys would chime in.:biggrin: I know all of us in this thread are using roller cams. I see why every cam thread ends with do a roller cam and forget it!
...Well I didn't use "rollers" till 2007. We liked stock stuff an were only goin mid 11s in street trim. Stock cams were working great till the late 90s early 2000s. Had a few customers cams fail way before though with lower mile cars. I thought it was from not using the car much. 2000/2005 ate a few more cams than usual. That was enuff for me. I just didn't need the aggravation.
..Nowadays I don't work on others guys stuff anymore IF I can help it. BUT I won't put in a flat tappet because I know when it goes bad everyone wants it fixed for nothing!! Its bad enuff to do it all over never mind for nothing.. Just isn't worth the hassle to me. To each their own Ya ..opinions opinions !!
... So throw what ya want in!! BUT Please don't come in here crying if it wipes.
