I agree. If a solid cam is larger it will make more power than the HR but you'll have to pile on more spring and more lash so longevity is compromised. A similar sized SR will make similar power but need more monitoring/maintenance.
The Comp Magnum HR lobes have been proven over & over to turn at least 6K RPM with the dreaded Crane 99893 spring with SR lifters. One could run a 160/450 spring for that warm & fuzzy feeling but why run 200/600 and have to replace/rebuild lifters regularly unless you like that sort of thing?

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
