Putting money into the valiant, suggestions?

1970Duster, you very clearly have no real understanding of the actual, practical benefits and drawbacks of a roller cam. You can avoid getting trounced like this in future by sticking to what you actually know (not what you're guessing or assuming, not what you think you understand) when giving advice.

To the OP on this thread, sorry for jacking your thread and I still say that roller cam is the way to go, just get it custom made to your specs. If your rebuilding your motor anyway you'll still need to get a cam so just give it a thought. At the end of the day you pick the route you need because you get to pay for it. Also I'm done with this thread and remember if you want the best you got to pay for it.

To slantsixdan,
I respect your opinions, but when it comes to your opinions on this matter I can tell you where to stick it8) (in another thread I could completely agree with you). Now "stick to what you know" and "in the future" don't ever assume you anything about me (or anyone else for that matter), because you "very clearly" don't. But I'll give you a little peak, since retrofit roller cams have hit the market I've stuck them in just about everything from Small Block Chevy, Small Block Mopar, Small Block Ford, Big Block Chevy, and Big Block Fords. Now I haven't stuck in a R/RB motor (or Hemi) yet because I haven't had any projects geared towards one yet, but trust me I'll use a Roller Cam in it when I do get a project geared up for a R/RB (or Hemi). So Yes, I am very familiar with roller cams. That being said what is the down side of a setup that reduces valvetrain wear and tear and also brings you into your power curve sooner and keeps you there longer. Now maybe I am and so are todays car manufactures are all wrong (because they're putting roller cams in todays engines) and we need to come consult your expect opinion on cams. Dude get off your high horse and stop "sticking to what you know" and learn something; this is my "advice" to you. I've said what had to say and consider the matter done, have a nice one.
