the thing that scares most people away from solid rollers is valve adjustments... Not alot of people want to adjsut the rockers every 500 miles.
My engine builder put it best when i asked him if i should have gone with a solid roller. His words-"If I dont feel like adjsuting my valves on my street car, neither are you." If i was going to the strip i would have put a solid cam in my motor and revved it to 7500 all day, but since i drive it on the street all the time its not really worth the stress on the drivetrain. If i swap to a Carburator, i'll probly throw a solid cam in the motor, but then its just gonna snowball from there, titanium retainers, new springs, turbo400 yada yada, the list goes on.
thats exactly what im doin lol. my car is carbed. although my edelbrock 600 i think is a lil to small, i planned on getting a new one anyways. a demon of some sort an ill talk it over with the machinist that will be doing the block, heads and probably balancing the internals. i got my heads bare for this particular reason.
25thmustang...your dads car sounds like a beast..just a lil more then what im expecting an i would have thought the 185s were to small but with a time like that they seem pretty fit. i ended up changing my mind on the heads. was goin to do the 200 rhs, but am pretty sure im doin 215s with minor clean up an port to get them to flow a lil better. the machinist who will be doing it knows his stuff so he will be takin care of them. the cam i was gonna do is just over 600lift an the rpm range is around 3400-7500. with that cam i think it will be streetable but this car will not be my daily driver. more of a weekend warrior lol. i will be spraying up to a 300 shot on a nitrous controller too
lol no. i mean solid roller cam.
