Is it possible to use as little as a .008 safety margin? I have that written in my notes but, no source for it.

Yes, on the racing profiles, we use .008", but the lifter bores need to be true'd

Re: Flat Tappet vs Roller Specs
With our more aggressive EMV series flat tappet designs, we hit max velocity, around 50 crank degrees from the end of the lash ramp.David Redszus wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 12:15 pm Depending on the specific lobe design, maximum lift typically occurs at about 72 CS degs
after the end of the ramp.
The quicker it gets to max velocity, the longer it can stay at max velocity, before it need to slow down towards max lift.

May I ask, what is the cam lift and duration (after ramp) for the cam lobe shape you mentioned?
Re: Flat Tappet vs Roller Specs
These are in the seat duration range on 288-304, with Lobe lift in the range of .352"-.377"David Redszus wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 2:49 pm May I ask, what is the cam lift and duration (after ramp) for the cam lobe shape you mentioned?
.842" diameter lifters

Re: Flat Tappet vs Roller Specs
When you factor the overhead, equipment purchase costs, and all the time Mike spends talking to knuckle heads like me it's a wonder he makes any money. His prices being what they are. It has to be a labor of love. Probably a decent living. But I bet he isn't getting wealthy off of his labors.
But then again, doing what you love and doing it for yourself vs what you have to do to make a living while making some corporate schmuck nice dividend checks... that has its own rewards.
If Mike charged for all the pro advice he does out so freely.. he probably could have retired 10 years ago hahaha
Re: Flat Tappet vs Roller Specs
I can’t wait to get my cam from him even though I don’t have the block and rotating assembly back from the machine shop yet. I think his cam prices are pretty reasonable but what I was really after was the selection expertise that I know I don’t have.Bill Chase wrote: ↑Thu Jan 14, 2021 4:29 pmWhen you factor the overhead, equipment purchase costs, and all the time Mike spends talking to knuckle heads like me it's a wonder he makes any money.
