Ordered Mast Small Bore LS3's
I've run 1208x's on the last 2 sets of LS7 heads I've had. This cam isn't overtly big, 235/251 .657/.660; but my last cam Spec'd by Martin was a 251/267 .701/.670 (Super stock/HUC) and they controlled everything well. Cost is the same, it should just allow you more control. 1205x's or 1206x's would be plenty for your setup is think.

Yeah I was just asking about them here recently... It's going to be either those or the T&D's as that's what Mast likes to run on theirs.

Well, Jesel doesn't make a Sportsman series for the Mast heads, so they'd have to be the Mohawks. The T&Ds I'd need are part number 2353.
Decisions decisions... Tougher than I thought. M
On the bright side, at least my wife is fully onboard with the sentiment of "build it once, build it right; buy once, cry once"

Taking the Crower's out of the equation simply for THIS question:
Between the T&D's and the Jesel Mohawks, which do you prefer, and why?
I've read of Jesel failures, even recently, but not on the T&D's. Mast prefers T&D. The T&D's do seem rathr beefy though, and of course I worry about weight and valve float.
PR's will be at a minimum 3/8" and as stated, I do have the upgraded hollow lighter intake valves, and the Titanium retainers.
Just wanting to see who has what opinions / experiences on the two aformentioned shaft rockers. I believe T&D has pressurized oiling t the needle tips as well...

Dang it man. I've been wanting the LS3 Mast heads, and I decided against them, but you're making me rethink that. Tempted to swap out my Cam motion hydraulic for a solid roller. Kip is pretty convincing.

Lol. Yeah, the more I think about it the more inclined I am to go with the T&Ds and a low lash solid roller.
Just wanting to see some opinions on the rockers. The Mohawks are pretty, I'll give them that...

I'd choose the T&D's as I've had customer have some Jesel's fail as well, but we're talking 1500-2500hp applications and not a street car with a 347 c.i. N/A engine.
Crower also has a needle bearing tip option as well that is really nice.

I guess I could always run a spacer or aftermarket with truck wires if needed. I really do NOT want to run a coil relocation kit.
