Flat tappet cams have gotten the job done for decades. Roller LA's are not too hard to find and are plenty cheap. If I go roller, I go roller from the factory meaning later LA or Magnum. That takes a bite out of crime... I mean the cost... LOL
I agree and I'm not makin the argument for or against, simply stating rollers.....at least HIGH QUALITY rollers are not cheap. AT ALL. I'm not talkin about factory Magnum junk, either. I'm talking about HIGH TECH solid rollers and everything that goes with them to make them work and live. You know, like 1000 dollar pressure fed big wheel lifters? It's not a cheap proposition, but it is a power making one.
