Depends on your perspective about how much the difference has closed for HFT vs HR. On the Butler site their master camshaft install kits that include cam, lifters, springs & timing chain set are $889 for HFT & $1589 for HR, that’s still a $700 difference, while not double the cost it’s not that far off. In other words while HR cams make sense for some there’s still a pretty steep entry price for the peace of mind.
