Ok please don’t roast me. I’m just asking/learning. Say you have 2 cars that fall in the same class. One is a factory roller combo. One is a flat tappet combo. If you give the flat tappet guy a roller cam. Didn’t you just give him a way to make more power? A roller cam can run a more aggressive ramp and way more spring pressure. How do you even that out? Please don’t say AHFS. You can’t just pull a number out of your behind either. Because not every combo will pick up the same. So you can’t just throw “X” hp on everybody that switches. Then do you make everybody switch to a roller cam even if they don’t have trouble with flat tappets? Or do you have 2 factors in the book. One for flat tappet one for roller. Or do you knock hp off all the factory roller cam combos. Then again how much? Sounds like a big ol can of worms. Where no matter what someone is going to like it. And others won’t.

For the record. Full disclosure. My junk is slow. I didn’t race it much before I got hurt working and had to stop racing. I didn’t plan to be off this long. But I have bought a BUNCH of parts to get faster if I can ever get back in the car. My combo is a factory roller. But no matter what they decide. I’ll probably get my as handed to me in a heads up race. So it doesn’t matter one way or another for me. So I’ll keep my opinion to myself. But I’ve read a few of these threads now. And I always wonder how you’d make it even.
