GPM,

Would you be referring to a tight lash solid or just a standard solid roller setup?? Also if my budget is tight after all my upgrades would I be ok running my current comp gold rockers with girdles then make the upgrade to the shaft mounts mid summer or next winter?? And if I do go solid roller setup what would be a safe margin of hours to expect to rebuild or replace lifters, 200hrs or so??

The tight lash solid rollers I've run were set at .010 cold, I wouldn't run more than .016 cold on a standard cam, but that's just me. From what I've seen the tight lash is a faster ramp that will wear things out faster. You can make good power with a slower ramp solid roller cam and it will live longer. I would check the lifters at 100 hours, pull them out and spin the rollers, the Crower 66291H are rebuild-able. In my opinion the stainless shaft rockers are more stable than your stud girdle, you're not putting all of the pressure at the top of the rocker stud. The stands bolt directly to the head. All rockers have a life cycle, I believe stainless is about 10 x longer than aluminum maybe more. Break a rocker at any RPM and you beat the piss out of the cam lobe, lifter and push rod, one of them will be the next thing to go. My opinion, the valve train is not the place to budget, do it right the first time and you'll save a ton of money in the long run.

That’s good advice!! I can make the switch the shaft mounts!! Your personal opinion would I benefit a decent amount of horsepower with cnc afr 335 vs dart 325?? I feel like the afr would make more power because they flow better on intake side, but flow considerably better on exhaust side?!?

I just ran a set of Brodie 332 oval ports on a 557 made 1050 under 7lbs boost. Brodie has some good stuff may want to look into them.

HP is limited by the air and fuel that can't get through the motor, the better flowing heads (without being excessively large) with the right cam, intake and exhaust will make the best power. Maybe have someone flow your 325's and see how they compare to the 335. Are you staying with the 509 ?

Goin to stay with the 509, I believe it should make as much power as my drive and boat can handle, I know some people put more power in the 25’ Daytona but at 850hp it will do everything I need and then some, that’s assuming I can make that much power with a 509 and 871 intercooled blower??

509 and 871 might be tough without a good cam and head

Pretty sure I’m goin to purchase afr cnc 335 heads, unless there is something better?? Seems those have really good flow numbers for not being too big of a runner volume!!?

These are better if we’re racing flow benches.

I bet the brodix have better shape runners and more air speed. Probably cost more too
