What would be a good Roller for a Small Block 408(W2 tunel ram, All out race car, 12 to 1 Compression at 28000 pounds car + Driver, also roller lifters for R3 Block) and who makes them?
I am interested in low maintence.
Right now I am running a Mopar 312 duration 590 lift.
Thanks for the help

I think this would be a nice upgrade

I think all lifters are the same BB and SB Mopar

thanks I only spin this motor up to 7,200 max need 30 more HP to get in the 9

We run a comp solid roller 260/262@.050 / .630 lift in a 414 w5 headed 12 to 1 compression, pulls good to low 7ks with good torque @ 5300+ its 106 in @ 106, there are 2 or 3 more comp shelf rollers in between mine and the one listed in the other reply

R265 mayberight is this place in california DOUG HERBERT

You are right. I made a mistake when I was typing. It is only 2800.
If I could run 10 teens with 28000 pounds I wouldn't need a roller cam

herbert has the best price on roller cams azwell

I wonder why they are so cheap?

Don't know why they're less $ than other brands.

But, being a very old company, I'd expect that their machinery is long-since paid off, and that they possibly bought their own land/shop, which after time will cut costs, too.

If their lobes are older, then they might not be doing a lot of costly R&D.

Of course, anyone with a cam grinder can hire a guy like Harold Brookshire or Mike Jones, and not have to develop lobe profiles themselves.

Then again, the markup allowed by simply having a brand name can come in to play as well. Ask guys who build engines for a living where Edelbrock's cams can be had from besides Edelbrock. That's not a slam on the 'Big E'; they've spent a lot of money on magazine ink developing the market for their camshafts, and deserve to be able to profit from that.

But it doesn't change the fact that those parts are still available elsewhere for less.

Herbert's stuff could also just be junk, (I hope not, because I'm running a set of his lifters in my big block!), but I suspect that they're a great deal on a mid-grade product that will work well for a lot of street and bracket guys.

I will, however, reserve the right to revise my stance pending my first scheduled inspection of the valvetrain this winter, when I pull the heads to mill them.

You covered the bases pretty well.

Nice video, your car is a Valiant 200?
You have the same problem that I have over here in Peru. The track is not clean enough and sometimes the 60 foot times are high.
(The track over here is a "little" more dirty than yours hahaha but thankfully the new track is gonna be ready this december)
Here is a video
