Thanks, I've got TRW-L2482F30 Forged Pistons. They have valve reliefs cut. I said flat top in my sig cause they aren't domed or anything. I figured this cam wouldn't come alive until pretty high RPMs. You really think a 750 would be right for this motor? The car weighs about 2600 without fuel. I'm thinking that might help me out as far as getting it out of the hole. I still want to get a different gear set eventually though. At this point I just want to get the thing started. And I won't be too dissappointed no matter what happens as long as it runs. I've only got about $3000 in the entire car including motor, trans, rear end, and chassis. Not a bad deal if it goes low 13s or better. Anyway, I ended up buying a new lifter from autozone for like 3 dollars and I'm going to either tack weld the plunger to the case or drill through it and put a roll pin in it to keep it from compressing.
