Just curious if any of the people who run rollers in street cars use the street roller cams that use less spring pressure then race rollers ?? Thinking about using a roller in my next eng for my 63 but I do drive it alot on the street. Ron

Run a Hydraulic roller grind, but use solid roller lifters. Or there are various street grinds as well, depending on how wild you're looking to go.

Ron, Ive talked to Dwayne at length about this on a couple occasions. He says the -5 Comp lobes are very very reliable in a real street driven application.

My cam is about as big as Isky generally uses in a daily driver situation and has served me well for over five years. After my 9-sec pass, I decided to change out the springs and the old ones were somewhere around 220-230 on the seat and 480 open and I drive it a lot and had several passes at that time. I swapped to a stouter spring and it`s still goin strong w/240-250 seat and 540+ open. I`m not the consertavite type and am of the "bigger is better" theory and so far have proven it can work well.
Just curious what the specs of your cam is??

And Dwayne is right. I got my -5 grind from PRH and it has been very good.
The first design street rollers are nice grinds too, though, and worth checking out if a guy wants to buy a shelf grind.
I was going to go with the older 308 street roller until Dwayne picked out a -5 for me instead. At the time our feeling was the -5 would pick up some power without hurting reliability/longevity enough to notice.
Zippy can I ask you the cam specs on that cam and the spring pressure you run with it ??? Thanks , Ron

Bradley, the lifter bores do not need to be bushed. Did your aunt live in Gilbert Az in 1970? I would like to talk to the person who bought the car new.
