Re: 400-450hp 355 on a budget?

I see that many people post about the limit on hyd rollers. With correctly set valve springs you can sping them well above what the normal post rpm is. The LS engine runs these and I can tell you that I have spum my own well over the 7000 rpm mark for many hours of use in the sand dunes... Never an issue.

I went hyd roller as I got tired of running valve train. Its never fun. For a street strip deal the little gain for me is not worth the extra work for a soild roller.

I have seen many times where guys have the soild roller and the engine set up does not even come close to where the up side of that cam set up is going to offer any real usable gains. But hey it sure sounds cool to tell others about the high lift massive solid roller cam.. Then they pull out a copy of there dyno sheet Just messing around no one get up tight.. LOL

Each to there own. For me not having to wrench on it was the goal.. Will see how that works out.. Have a good easter everyone.
