cheap 393 build - worth it?

[red82gt]

Why bother using weenie cams in a small motor like a 302 that needs to rev to the moon in order to make anywhere close to what a basic 393 would?
If anything, the weakest cams are the hydraulic rollers. In order to get one of these to run high rpm's you need titanium retainers, beehive springs, an a custom ramp rate. With a flat tappet hydraulic, you can run 7000 rpms with a street friendly valve spring. With a solid roller, you're replacing your valvesprings at every third oil change and having to adjust your rockers every oil change (or 20 drag strip passes). This is fine for a race car but but sucks for a street car. Go to the corral and ask Buddy rawls what he thinks of flat tappet hydraulics.
