Shelf cams are meant to do OK across a large variety of combos and sizes and are more of a compromize than i personally would want to put into a build that is going to cost $8000+? For a few $$ more, get the best brain for your beast!


I'm not ruling that out but bc this is going to be a street/grudge race engine I want to stay with the hydraulic roller but I am not ruling anything out.

Another post for your engine would really help you pick out a decent combo to meet your goals. Example; "Help me build a 600 hp stroker smallblock" then list what you have for parts now, what manners you want, budget and what you are willing to compromize on. Guys want to help, so post it👍
