Thank you for responding. It was a help in making a decision. I will call Isky too.

What is your opinion on the Isky HPX silver vs gold hydraulic rollers for a street engine that will see limited track time? Are the bushing roller versions worth the difference in price for "peace of mind" or way overkill?

Thanks again for all the replies. I have the choke blades out and .018 wires in the idle feeds. Once I get it in the car I intend to use a wideband air fuel ratio gauge and the local drag strip to work on getting dialed in.

Thank you for your input. I am sure once I get it into a car I will have more questions.

Hello All, Anyone that has a moment to guess on what I may get out of this combination. 383 w/ 6 inch rods 10.6-1 compression AFR comp eliminator 195 heads Howards 245@50, 560 lift straight pattern HR 1.6 rockers tunnel ram with 600 holleys It's not in a car yet and will likely never be dynoed. Than...

They did this on engine masters with a sbc. Put solid rollers on and left the springs on from the hydraulic roller cam. Only changed the lifters. Brule set the lash at zero cold. Motor gained about 10 hp. They agreed that they had no idea how long it might last but it worked fine them.

So you think I should not use it?

Thanks for taking your time to reply. Ill pick up a regulator.

Hello,
I suspect it’s a long shot but could one of you guess what this pump is? I ordered it as a Carter 4891 and came out of a Carter box. What I have doesn’t look like pictures of a 4891 and has 1/2 npt inlet/outlets. Thanks,
