5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

Sure!! You can just put a flat tappet back in it. I have used several Hughes engines cams. They make power! so a combination of stock bottom end with an Edelbrock air gap intake Summit Racing $259.95 , hughes stage 1 heads, with the correct springs and retainers installed ready to install $1377.40, HUG HEH2328AL cam $160, lifters $88.00, 1.50 Roller rockers $440.00 and pushrods around $130. I just picked a combination. Subject to your own judgement. Cam should be slightly lopey but not insane.:toothy10:

Thanks for the trouble - I really appreciate it!!!

That is not far from what I was thinking myself. Do you think this is markedly/noticeably/meaningfully better than sticking with a flat tappet, just to save a little bother?
