yeah, I can run a .590 lift with a 252 duration @050 flat tappet with big spring pressure on the seat and over the nose and use a regular gear that the factory put in the engine 50 years ago. Hughes claims their roller cams can use the factory gear. Oregon regrinds the factory cam and you can use the factory gear. Why not every cam manufacturer then???? I've been dealing with small block mopars for about 35 years, and I'm just finding this out??? How many poor souls out there are destroying their "new" roller cam because they don't know? How many knew to use the bronze gear and now have bronze flakes destroying their engine as the cruise around?? And all because they were scared out of ever using a flat tappet cam..... :rolleyes:
