Who wants to test a Low Lash Roller Cam? OK here is what we have. I have some adjustable push rods ordered for a LS engine
I want someone to try a solid roller set up. They make more power and turn higher than hyd lifters. We have been making these for years. They are not the typical solid roller cams they are a Low Lash Solid Rollers. We have seen 20,000 miles on a LT engine with no lash adjustment. They are very quit you may not know you have a solid roller in the engine. Here is why we need some one to try this out I know it will work BUT we have only made these for a Steel block and aluminum head set up. The trick is to make them for the aluminum block and heads. On the steel block we run .006 to .008 hot. With both block and heads being aluminum when it gets hot the lash will grow. So on the all aluminum set up we will need to set lash cold at .000 or .002 so when all heats up we should have about .010 to .012 . I can design the lobe to work with this lash. It may run a little sluggish at first until it warms up. I am sure this will work. When we get this working you will never go back to Hyd’s. OK here’s the deal I will give someone a cam solid lifters pushrods springs and gaskets for N/C just for the feed back. If you do not like this set up I will give you a new Hyd cam and lifters at N/C to replace the test cam. One thing is we need this done ASAP. OK who wants to be the Ginny?

I also may be up to the task depending on feedback required. I have a forged ls1 bottom end, 6 spd, street strip car and want to hit it once in a while with a medium sized shot through a plate. I currently am assembling the long block and was planning on running a G5x3. I tune with HP Tuners and with Ed Hutchings assistance. Feel free to PM me if I can be assistance.

OK thanks everyone I think we have enough volunteers for this test. I will be getting back to each person that has offered to help. We will post later when we have some data to share.

This is exactly what I've been looking for and have asked about in the gen 4 internal section a few days ago.
Definetly interested in the outcome.
How would it go for a daily application that would like to be raced occasionally?
LS3 with mast heads, jesel rockers etc here..

I would be interested also. I have a 403 ls2 with ported ls3 heads setup for the strip. Waiting on edelbrock to get the super victor ls3 intakes out. Plan to turn between 7500 and 8000.
