I guess the good thing about HFT cams is if you don't like the cam you chose, you can pick out a different grind in the not so distant future.

Most new cars are OHC with valve pressures you can open with a thumb, what pushrod motors are being produced currently are using light valves and followers beehive springs and puny cams.

the Pontiac community is slooow to get on board with beehives

there has been so many iterations of retro fit hydraulic roller lifters its near impossible to keep track thats because of so much success i imagine
