A hyd roller works fine in a big stroker since you don't need a lot of RPM to make power. A 505 with standard port heads will be pretty much finshed by 6500 rpm so it is a good match for a hyd roller cam.

If you're building a street engine then don't get wrapped up in race engine thinking. A good street engine will have a smooth idle and a bunch of torque down low and if it runs out of steam a little early then so what. How often are you going to unleash 650 hp on the street anyway?
