Advice: Solid Roller or Hydraulic Roller for street car

Based on the earlier thread, I’d agree that a whiplash cam, accompanied by either updating/mildly reworking the stock heads or putting some SM’s on it would be a decent move towards the original goals.

Be nice to know exactly what those “stock gears” are.
I’d want to have at least a set of 3.23’s out back if it gets any type of hot rod cam.
