*Realistic expectations..C-mon jump in!

My previous post (after re-reading it) was not real clear. What I meant was, I think a roller cam is out of place with the combo. The main bottle necks being the stock heads and exhaust manifolds. Stock heads don't flow for crap, same with the exhaust manifolds. If you take that same amount of money and spend it wiser, you would end up with a faster car...let me just add, this is from a racers point of view...I have a hard time looking at things from any other view point, so take it with a grain of salt.

I agree with Ramm that a roller seems like a waste of money at this level. If money is not an issue, by all means go roller. I have a solid roller in my car and will NEVER go back to flat tappets, but that is partially due to the wiped cam lobe I had a few years ago.

I hate to guess at these things, but since the OP said he wanted to keep the gears, manifolds, I'm guessing he doesn't really want an all out street strip machine, even though he stated
"I like a weekend warrior type approch, push the limt of street use and the odd track day", otherwise, we would be talking about different cylinder heads.

To the OP, do you have specific power/ET goal in mind, or just a fun quick car?
