" lifters and cam are the most vulnerable.

" As for roller cams, I am trying to get the price down
" so they are not so outrageous.  The cam is not the big
" problem it is the lifters.  They are almost twice the
" cost of the cam.  Even for a Chevy they are not cheap.


you're not using custom lifters are you?  there must be mopar rollers
that only need new tiebars to work...

"  They are worth it though.  No break in period or wear
" issues like with a flat tappet.  Better than that is
" the performance gain.  A roller cam will out perform
" the same grind in a flat tappet every time.  The ramp
" speed is so much more aggressive and your power band
" is much wider with a roller.  You can get a lot more
" duration and still have good low end power instead of
" loosing most of your low end with the increased
" duration.  

i once back-of-the-envelope figured that if we could come up with some
kind of hydro roller setup for the 4.0, just converting the stock cam
to a roller profile would be good for something like 20hp.
