ATK 5.9 Magnum crate motor horse power

A few random thoughts...
Magnum heads crack, never seen or heard of one that went into a cooling jacket.
The aftermarket heads are to address other things - fitment and upgrade costs mostly. Johnny's right in saying it's a waste to use a brand new iron head combo.
Personally I've never run a roller cam in my own engines, and seldom in customers', and there's no reason aside from a racing application where I'd consider it. Especially a hydraulic roller. That's on par with the waste of money on a new iron head IMO. That being said - when you can't control the cam break in and have to warranty the engine, it makes sense only for the builder - not the guy paying the bill.
I think that's the first time I have ever heard someone call a roller cam a waste of money. Having built both roller, and non, engines myself both inside and outside of BluePrint, I'm in the complete opposite camp where if I never built another flat tappet engine I would be fine with it. Zinc oils aside, I do admit a flat tappet can out HP a hydraulic, but the snappiness, profiles, and steep ramp with a roller sets me firmly in that camp. Unique perspective tho. Just shows there are always differing ways to look at something.
