Nothing wrong with hyd lifters they can go much further than most think.. I do agree with light valve train.. then add you high flow heads LOL.. Its not my money I am spending so I say go for it.. Your other projects are sitting there

I plan on getting out to the 1/8 track here.. the new 35 spline moser 9 inch is in and thus far is working flawless. Going to swap up to a 315 17 dot stickie and drop the hammer.
