IMO, they wrote stuff, occassionaly, to sell non stock parts.

Is there a better hyd roller lifter out there that will have better control, possibly. Does the factory stuff work, yep.

A 10:1 360 with a decent head (mildly ported ede or LAX heads) with a low 230's at @.050, 550ish lift cam will make in excess of 450hp. That's plenty of engine to power a 3300 pound car into the 11's with a good chassis.


All great info, a big thanks again to everyone who chimed in.
So while we're talking about mid 11's with a good chassis
Will SS springs and good shocks be an ok choice of a good chassis?
