Speaking of older cams, I do have a L1P1 new in the box.

Are you ready to cut the heads for a T&D race rocker setup?

no, I have a set of HS for it.

Why do the heads need to be cut?  By all means, educate me.

Extreme spring pressures needed for high rpm solid rollers can pull the stand studs out of the heads.  I don’t like going over 600 lbs open without going to a paired rocker system.  Once you have it happen to you once you don’t ever want it to happen again.

If your goal is to turn this over 7000-7500 with a solid roller, I wouldn’t feel comfortable with a regular shaft rocker.  Heavy valves, stout cams, and high lift needs a lot of spring pressure.

The cams you are looking at are also universal, the lobes are shared between families.  Most of the FE heads, including HR and TP are best served with custom camshafts.  I would not choose the cam until the heads are finished, flowed, and your entire combination is locked in.  The cam should be about the last part you buy.

Plug for what Brent says - I've had two of his make-to-order solid roller cams.  One was a hip shot from his "garage sale" that worked real well.  2nd was speced based on all known/measured parameters of my current race 393 Cleveland.  I'll never buy another catalog cam.  Doing so leaves power on the table and you'll have spent the same money.  Agree - last two things to buy are cam and pushrods after all else is sorted out, measured and ready.

For whats it worth, I also have the end stands that tie into the head bolts.  Maybe I should just do a solid flat tappet.  Would be easier on the wallet too.
