This is what im considering for my engine alot. I want my engine turn effortlessly whit minimum friction to have it last long! But the price and rumors about lifter problems keep me at bay. Also already mentioned that it needs more spring pressure means that other valve train parts are gonna wear faster, is it worth trade off after all? Could i use same springs as in flat tapped if i just used flat tapped specs ?
