Is it plausible to break in the flat tappet cam with weaker springs since you will do the break in period at only 2000 rpm? That might put in a good starting position.
That’s in the event you decide to use a flat tappet cam. I believe I saw someone comment on this before.
I’ve been watching Salter Racing on YouTube. Unbelievable expertise. He mentioned using a dial indicator to compare before and after lift after start up to determine if a lobe(s) has begun to wear out. He also recommends using a micrometer to measure to lobes front and back after getting a new cam to make sure you have at least a .002 difference. A new cam could be ground faulty.
Just some intel…
