"...And if "new technology" is not as good why are so many guys running good even with iron heads and HR or "hybrid combination like Cliff's? I guess we need to kick Cliff and many of Dave Bisshop's combinations out of the discussion since they use that HR "new" technology..."
I think one of the problems we may be having here is that some guys are talkin about max horsepower and lowest ET's, with streetable ROLLER cams, and some are talkin about daily driver type, or street / strip type HYDRAULIC FLAT TAPPET cams.
To me these are two totally different apps. I think maybe we need to compare apples to apples, as they say. So, compare the HFT cams to other HFT cams, and roller cams to other roller cams.
Is this reasonable or ridiculous ?
