Hey all, building a 408 stroker for my 72 Rallye 4spd Challenger. Cast steel crank, forged pistons, rods, all bought and balanced from Dave at Hughes Engines. I am putting the Edelbrock Pro-Flo4 multi port setup on it with mildly ported Edelbrock Aluminum RPM heads (also ported by Hughes), and TTI 1 7/8" race headers so she can breathe easy. This car will be mainly street but still would like to get into the 10's when I do take her to the track on occasion and want to be able to spin it up to ~6000 RPM or so (like on my 2016 Scat Pack Shaker).
Trying to get some guidance for the cam. Dave recommended a flat tappet since he can get me that quickly, I was leaning towards solid roller for the higher RPM availability, but also have seen lots of horror stories about solid roller bearings coming apart, and since Isky doesn't make their lifters with the solid bearing for small block Mopars, I am unsure which way to go? Granted a lot of the "stories" I have read on solid roller lifters coming apart on street engines are many years old, I thought I would ask this forum for anyone's history with a street/strip stroker with a solid roller lifter setup??
Thanks in advance!
