Questions / comments:
1. What did Dwayne P. suggest? And are you second-guessing him?

2. I'd be hesitant to run MM-type lobes w/o both EDM lifters AND nitriding... and I'm not so sure they'd be the right choice for an engine getting a lot of street miles. Something milder will be kinder to your valve springs, etc., over time.



I don't consider weighing the facts as 2nd guessing. You make a good point about wear & tear. Sounds like if I want to do something like option 2, I need to talk to Dwayne about a street roller but Andy Fs testing showed that more is not always better in this case. I have no doubt that Mr Porters recommendation will perform well but it's not clear to me that the extra expense of a custom solid or roller will buy much, if any, improvement in performance .
