e58 police oil cooler

It is going to be a hydraulic roller btw. I am curious why he chose that much lift when he said it wasn't necessary over the phone, I guess it just motivates me to spend more to get my Edelbrock RPMs ported lol... my machinist did seem pretty eager to do a simple clean-up job on the ports once he saw them in person but I just want the important work done for now until I get an idea of how the costs are stacking up.

Aside from all the car and drivetrain specs I told Jim I intend to use the car mostly for street and road racing, also that I'm at 5000 feet above sea level and my engine's compression will only be 9.5:1 at best. He said what I have and what I'm doing is pretty unusual and he'd "have to take a couple days to think about it" which makes me even more glad I went with a custom grinder.


Ok, the HR explains the lift. FWIW I put as much lift into them as you can get within reason. I net .600 with Jims SFT lobes. That's about as much as I feel comfortable with as far as fitting the lift on a lobe with a somewhat reasonable lift rate and that's about as much lift as I feel comfortable with using the stock installed heights. More lift makes the geometry correction even tougher.

BTW, I hope you are going to use B3's geometry correct kit. Sounds like you are going to have a seriously well thought out engine. Should be very nice.
