Anyone running catalytic converters on car with flat tappet cam?

mobil 1 Has just enough zinc to get by with a flat tappet IF you have a good quality cam and lifters. I dont think the cat will be affected too much and if it does eventually wear out the cat, hey you can always replace the cat. the aftermarket cats dont cost too much.[relatively speaking]. I remember in the 'old days' a new car from the late 70's the cats would only last about 5 or 6 years anyway [with regular mileage ]. So if this is not a daily driver, I'd think the cats would last awhile. You will need to keep the 'tune' really tight though. IMHO.

Hi omahamoparguy, the lift on my cam is high (520), I might need a little higher zinc based oil for this reason then again want the hell do I know. The high flow cats are expensive about 340 U.S each, not something you want to replace soon. I talked to Vibrant Performance where these cats came from and they more or less said what your saying, that if the car is not a daily driver then the cats should last awhile.
