Default Re: roller cam or flat tappet???

I can't give Crower (Dave Crower) a better or more glowing recommendation... he was extremely helpful and explained everything thoroughly.
I did not question his lift specs...even though other people did/have and after driving the little 302 William couldn't be happier either.

I gave Dave the following information:
1. car make model
2. weight
3. Gear ratio - Diff
4. gear ratios - trans
5. tire height
6. CUI - and Compression ratio - rod length etc.
7. RPM max
8. Flow numbers on the heads from .100 - .700
9. Intended use

I told him I did not care about a PEAK number I wanted something that would have a torque curve that was fat where the engine would spend most of it's time... he delivered... on the street it is extremely easy to drive without your foot in it... with your foot in it the whole attitude changes forget about nailing the throttle... the forward movement is overcome by tire smoke.

When you ROLL into the throttle it blisters the bias plys in any gear. It is incredibly fun now, with the centerforce clutch it's near as easy to drive as a Honda.

Afterwards he asked if I would like some conservative desk top numbers. BTW These numbers would be header w collectors only.
HP- 500+ 7500 self imposed red.
Torque - 475+ ft# @ 5500 (350 ft# @ 3500 rpm)
