Are you sure that's a hydraulic roller and not a mechanical roller? I <br>thought it was a mechanical roller.<br><br>Asa JAy<br><br>Quoting Mad Dog Antenucci <<a ymailto="mailto:teampantera@yahoo.com" href="mailto:teampantera@yahoo.com">teampantera@yahoo.com</a>>:<br><br>> I know Kirby will weigh in here but he also hasn't driven his <br>> Pantera in 10 years....okay seems like 10 years now that he has the <br>> fancy schmantzy Ford GT replica! ;-)<br>><br>> I Iove my Com cams hyd roller.....will never go back to solid <br>> lifters unless its a race car and my Pantera is not a race car.

power of 503RWHP @ 6,000 and <br>> 477RWTQ....we kept R's at limit of 6,000 and made max torque at <br>> 5200 R<br>><br>> On previous 381ci stroker rebuilt 4 years earlier with the same <br>> build EXCEPT using a Holly 830 cfm and Rosch hi rise we made 445 <br>> RWHP but made max 391TQ at 4900 R's...REVING to 6300 R's. <br>><br>> Honestly, I could not tell the difference in power....and dyno power <br>> don't mean squat...Mike Trusty said the same stroker with EFI <br>> wouldn't sound as good meaning the EFI smoothed out the cam <br>> allot....lost the rumpty rump going to IR-EFI system but I still <br>> love it....<br>><br>><br>> ________________________________<br>> From: David in Durango <<a ymailto="mailto:adin@frontier.net" href="mailto:adin@frontier.net">adin@frontier.net</a>><br>> To: Kirby Schrader <<a
