This one looks better IMO

I think the other one is to small. If your going to the expense of a roller for a race engine id want at least 260@ 050.

265* rollers @ .050 can support over 700+ HP, this cam should be plenty for you Ted. I like it!

Pick a piston of around min of 11.5 or so. More would work even better. But if you had to run pump gas that cam should still rock at 10.7 or so. mike

Couldnt have said it better...
That cam's lift will clear about any modern piston valve reliefs Ted.
The problem I see with flat tops and stock stroke engines is getting good compression. With 80cc chambers with Zero deck pistons and minimal valve reliefs your going to struggle to get the compression up over 11:1.
This is a pretty much a race car only isnt it Ted?
Ross makes some shelf Domes, and IIRC so does Keith Black in the forged line...
A Dome piston could be worth as much as 50hp in that type of engine with a roller cam...

13.5:1 compression would be in the ball park of most good effort output engine.
Its a proven power increase of 5%-7% many times over..

Well it would be minimal of 25-30HP. Like I say it depends on the combo. In a case were the cam and a few things arent idea, it could make a good diff in E/T..in which that is what were after...not estimated HP figures.
I was just saying if I could pickup a set of domes in the same price range..It would be a no brainer..
