i was told that if you put a roller cam in a street car its not as durable as a hyd cam. but when i look at a summit catalog with cams for a LT1/LS1 i scratch my head and wonder why i was told that. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

The only real durability issue was the distributor gear, since roller cams are made of billet steel, and would wear out the stock distributor gear. I got a Crane HR, which has an iron dist gear.
