Any concerns about FT cam lubrication and low operating speeds? If the engine is loping around at 1800 RPM in OD, is that going to provide a flat tappet cam enough oil thrown on the lobes? Seems a mild FT grind with valvesprings under 270lbs would live longer? Meaning no XE lobes and/or 995 spring setup.
