I was going over the paperwork on my car it shows the cam I have installed in my 92 magnum is a flat tappet hydraulic for LA ??? Besides HP loss what else ???
I think I installed the wrong cam

Wrong cam as opposed "to what"? A roller?

Flat tappet lifters! cant use rollers on that cam.

Yep! You thought right! Do you have roller lifers for the engine? If so I'd pull it back out and put a roller cam back in.
Yes, agree
Not upset. I'm actually have wanted a Hughes Whiplash cam since the first time I heard one.
Is it possible to grind a roller profile on an LA cam ??

no not enough meat there. To grind a roller profile you have to start with a roller cam.
Yes. Call Ken Heard at Oregon cam grinders.

Are you sure about that? I thought you had to start with a roller cam? The base circle is too small on a la. I maybe wrong tho
Positive. I've talked to Ken in depth about it. I'm still on the fence about it. I may get him to grind a small solid street roller on a stock slant 6 core. I haven't made my mind up. But he can do it.

May do that, custom grind would work
Chit if I would. You already got it together with a flat tappet? You're crazy to tear it apart.
Oops!
There is light at the end of the tunnel
I forgot I had a complete 360 mag stashed in my shed, that has a performance cam and valve springs, it spun a rod
Don't know the specs
When I looked at the cam lobes I could see, they looked pretty good.
