Bronze gear necessary??

You're both right! Always stuff to learn... IMHO you brought out a good point, 318willrun. One more box checked off for why FT cams are not yet going away...
knowledge is key, as always. I've been a flat tappet cam user for 3 decades without issue. I'm learning that rollers are great - if you know the "in-and outs". I'm going to get this info out. I don't count myself as "green behind the ears" or a "car rookie". How many others are making the switch and just as clueless. I bet a lot. I started a thread to get this info out - today!
