If starting from scratch 2.0 lifter spacing will straighten the pushrod angles out and Cam cores are available for the 2.0" but are substantially more$$$ 45 non raised and 48 degree raised seem to work fine, so why re invent the wheel........

Looking for some input here before I pull the trigger. What are opinions on the lifter angle and placement on a raised block Predator engine? Is there any advantage to be had by moving the lifter location, ie spread out or stock? What do you consider the optimum lifter angle for a raised deck Predator deal? Any other thoughts on this deal? We are looking to make some decent power and trying to do my research to make sure we get a good, reliable, engine that makes some power.
