Gettin My Feet Wet - 383

Why are you wanting a hydraulic cam?

I would prefer a hydraulic over a mechanical on this particular build because of a few reasons. First is overall cost and maintenance of the cam and parts. Mechanical flat tappets and rollers tend to be a lot higher in cost. Also, hydraulic cams are more plug in play if you will meaning that I don't want to always be adjusting valves or other components when I just want to mostly cruise or take trips with this particular engine. I do like the higher rpm ranges in the mechanicals; however, as i only intend to race once or twice a month i wouldn't mind the trade off. I'm looking for some type of fuel mileage haha.
