i would think some what the wider the lifter less pressure just like wearing a wider heel on a shoe then a smaller pointed one. i would say an engine with bigger cam journals and the longer the cam lobes could be making it less pointed and faster smoother ramp and less wear.
i have the one in my 67 newport fresh rebuilt 440 with 2.76 gears till the 2.94 posi goes in. 217-221 @.050. on a 110 LSA with a 106 centerline but degree in at 107 centerline. it's right there off idle and still pulls to 5500 rpms. works for me for a nice cruiser. i ran Hughes engines cams they...
had mine recurved for 12* initial and not all in till 3600 rpms. total 35*-36* it also has 915 heads and has a total of 54 thousand quench with the 44 thousand head gasket and pistons 10 thousand in the hole.
what do you guys think on a new rebuilt street engine with 170 lbs of cranking compression, to high or low or just about right. runs good with 35-36 total timing. 217-221 on 110 LSA with 107 centerline.
