I guess I may be going solid roller sooner than I thought. This has been in the back of my head for 6 months or so now. Maybe it is time I move forward.
Might not be a bad idea, my next motor will be a solid roller 6 bolt setup. There is 2 sides to this theory too, but I buy into the solid setup on a high boost/hp motor. Valve float is the enemy.

What's MM running? I thought he was running a hyd cam still. He's also running a 3.00 gear with 25-26 tire, so I don't think the gear is the whole problem.

Sorry your still having problems. Those damn goats don't like running 8's. You'll figure it out sooner or later.

problem isn't that its hydraulic...problem is the ETP heads have LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG valves and require LOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGG pushrods that = WEIGHT.

more valvetrain weight = more spring pressure to control...
