HotRod Mag 408 build w/TrickFlow heads NEW

My buddy sent me the link to this the other day and my first thought after seeing a solid roller was that's kind of lame. But after looking closer at the specs and overall build I changed my mind to that's pretty good for a street engine that can be used in a 4x4.

Why go solid roller and use such a conservative cam?, my guess is they wanted a roller but didn't want to deal with hydraulic lifters so they used a mild/non aggressive (for a solid roller) cam for the street.

My view on it is it's pretty impressive to take an out of the box head and make over 500hp with those parts/limitations.
