David have you considered the Johnson hydraulic roller offered by Butler? My builder is discouraging the use of any flat tappet lifters.

Yes I have but I went this way for a variety of reason not the least of which is cost. Very few companies have any roller cams available right now, I hear excellent things about Crowers quality control, the Crower tech gave me step by step instructions and made me very comfortable, and with the money saved I can purchase other things I need to complete the build.

I feel pretty confident about this being as I am not using a radical cam or an exotic valve train.
