I must have been thinking about a different car. Either way, highly impressive.

Yes, with E-heads. I know a little about the cam, solid roller. Here’s what’s impressive to me, you hear so many different opinions on solid roller cams not lasting on street, just trying to make people think about this. He’s driving 3200 mile back home. Allot have jumped on the hyd roller cam thing. Look at all the issues they’ve had with hyd roller set up. His build makes you think.

I've given serious thought to a street solid roller. It's not the mileage that scares me, it's the idle time.
