FWIW I've heard solid rollers rarely need adjusted when they get checked to be reset.

I agree. They will move alittle at first but usually stop moving.

All the upgrades and still using the small tube 525 headers. Would have made 1200hp.

I swapped out the 525 headers for big tubes on a similar engine and it made over 40 hp more. The headers are certainly too small, but it's not cheap to replace both sets of headers and tails. They have a primary tube that is less than 2", where the big tubes have a 2 1/4" primary and a 5" collector. We also ran every accessory....water pump, alt, p/s pump and 5 idlers.
