The Hughes cam similar to that is sweet spot of 2500 - 5900 rpm.
Still use the rhaodes lifters. they will make it run better. It's all that I use now. I've been using them for over 25 years and have over 250,000 miles on a set in one engine with no problems. They give you better low and mid range power and torque without sacrificing top end. Also better MPG, but like the better idle, you may not be concerned about that. But they will help it pull better off the line!
Rhoades lifters will make that power band go from 1500 - 5900 rpm on the Hughes cam.
