RB and a roller Cam

I wanted to run a Roller Cam at one time but settled with a Mech flat tappet cam. I Drive my cars all over and sometimes 200 miles a weekend

I did alot of reading on running a roller cam in a 440 block and my conclusion was: (Hyd roller because of less spring pres reqiured)

An RB block does not have adequate oiling for the rollers for a car that will be driven for a number of miles. especially if you will be ideling here and there?
If you are going to run a Roller to do it right you need to make some extensive modifications to the oiling system(add an external passage , lines, ect...) Sure its easy to install a Roller Cam but it may come apart and there goes your motor due to the oiling deficencies????

I have a CHevy friends with 454's and they pretty much just pop in there Hyd roller cams and put 40K on the motor-(jeolous:hmph:)
Sure I am, I am running stone age Purple Sticks(safe)
On the otherhand an RB has a LARGE diameter lifter bore so its easy to run more agressive ramp rates with a Mech-less stuff to brake!!?
