Re: Roller Camshaft Poll
I was thinking of doing this myself as a friend of mine that builds race engines recommended it. He won't build a flat tappet cam engine any more. He was suggesting using a bronze lifter bore insert with a key and slotted lifters as is now the practice in his nascar engines.

Re: Roller Camshaft Poll
I voted trail and reliability, but my biggest use is trailering, since I pull a boat and a tractor, both in the 4000# range. I worry about heat and stress on the engine.
I NEED MORE TORQUE!
