flat Tappit Cams

[NastyGn]

Just a note: For those who get the National Dragster magazine you might check out the tech page (next to last page in the current issue) It was intresting reading on what one of the major motor builders had to say about this type of cam.

His view point was intresting to say the least.

What was his viewpoint for those of us who dont get national dragster?

 

[Nick Micale]

One thing he says is "In my view, a flat tappet is a ticking time bomb in a racing engine."

He goes on to give good reasons why a high RPM engine with massive spring pressures should use roller cams. Not really anything new here, as this has been discussed on the board lots.

No it's not really nothing new to most of the turbo group. I just though it was intresting to see someone else who came up with the same views as a number of people in the turbo group.

I guess to sum it up you get what you pay for.
