I know I'm right....
Question: Why are LA/Magnum roller cams 2-3X the price of flat tappet cams? Even with roughly the same specs (minus duration) they aint even close in price. WTH?
That aint bad at all..Oregon? And how big can they regrind one?Tell me about it.
That's why I opted for the regrind at $125.
Flat lifter cams are typically machined from a nodular cast iron blank that has the cam bearing areas and valve lifter travel areas cast in the rough. There is still much finish machining to do, but the as cast part at least looks like a cam.That aint bad at all..Oregon? And how big can they regrind one?
Rollers are billet,Forged billet? IIRC all modern OEM rollers are iron but they are some low po low spring pressure dogs. Fair enough, did Oregon cams (or regrinder) give you spring pressure recommendations?
Rollers are billet,
The small contact point of the roller dictates that. Cast material will not take the loading.
Good price , Khalid... I went "retro fit " myself . (Was 320 shipped Howards , through Comp Products) Extremely happy , with the results.Factory Gen 3 Hemi cams are cast, in fact they're only $80 for a replacement for most apps. And they tend to fail cam lobes at high miles and trash the lifter along with it. I'd rather have a forged or billet cam myself just knowing that.
I've been looking at a Lunati retro-fit hydraulic roller to run in a JY 5.9 Magnum and list price on their site is just under $300 for the camshaft only, I think that's pretty good...?

I totally agree. I had a roller in my 383 stroker.....I can tell ya after you build and engine with one...its hard to go back!
Not having to sweat a wiped lobe is enough. Much less the HP gain. Agreed.I can tell ya after you build and engine with one...its hard to go back!
