Inputs on a home built 318 for red light to red light fun

Ok, I thought you were referring to the current "quality" of lifters LOL! I hear that cams and lifters are down on quality possibly because of the removal of zinc from oil and the overseas manufacturing etc.. My bad. i am going to find out soon I have a new hydraulic cam on the shelf going into a build. We shall see. The last time I bought a hydraulic cam was 2008,and its still going strong no issues.
