I believe Crower still sells solid rollers for the 60v6

Yes, I called them a year ago. For only $500 they can make me a set of roller lifters.
For that kind of money I can get custom lighter parts for the valvetrain.
But since you brought the roller vs flat tappet cam wars back I'm going to give an example.
This is Upson's custom roller cam for his monster twin turbo 3900 motor.
His cam is a baby compared to my flat tapped solid.
My 370 GTO cam has more lift (.497 vs .550), more duration @ .050 (216 vs 244)
and way more area under the curve (faster ramps)! I'll let you guys figure that one out.
Overall, my cam is more responsive, revs faster, deliver the power instantly without lag and
without relying on altered atmospheres, all naturally aspirated.
I'm not saying I have more power than Upson's monster. I'm saying mine delivers the power way faster
without boost. Can't wait to see what kind of power Mr. Upson gets!
I'm pretty sure that Upson's or any cam that WOT-Tech sell does not have more area under the curve or
have faster and aggressive ramps than my 370 GTO solid flat tapped.
Like I said before, lobe technology has come a long way from the bootlegger days!

When are you going to start the 350 WHP 3900 aluminum head build thread?

I might hit that goal with this engine!

And then you could go for 400 with an aluminum head engine.

The troll keeps a rollin' all night long... Isn't that a song?
So funny how people were hating on my dynos back then compared it to engines using E85 and other things not mentioned then called it apples to apples... Haters will continue to hate... If I actually put my "light" wheels back on and went to the dyno, more fragile aluminum egos would break and we can't be having that on the interwebs…
I supposed if I wanted to be a troll, I could go into every 3X00 thread and say something like "If you don't want head and intake gasket issues just switch to IRON HEADS!!!!!" … but I like to leave the trolling to actual trolls...[This message has been edited by lou_dias (edited 05-30-2019).]

Pull your head out Lou.
I never said it couldn't be done, just the stated goal could be reached more easily with aluminum heads. The corollary is that the same effort into aluminum heads will yield a higher number.

Stop pretending. You intentionally upped the hp # when mentioning AL heads. You're not fooling anyone.
It's a back-handed way of saying whatever iron heads can do, al heads can do more. Well, why don't you build a 400hp AL head engine in your own thread and let him build the engine he wants, troll.[This message has been edited by lou_dias (edited 05-30-2019).]

It's not back handed at all. I am saying EXACTLY THAT. Whatever iron heads can do, aluminum heads can do more with the same effort. Period. There is no serious debate about this.
