Default Glad my 514 cant read

Have almost 6000 miles on my 514 since April this year and have adjusted the valves once at 5400 miles. I guess this engine does not know that it is supposed to explode sending needle bearings in all directions. I for one have not found the stock cam to be all that radical for street use. Have several friends that drag race all the time think the cam is to mild. Yes I do plan on adjusting the valves a little more often but that is the price you pay for the performance. Why do you want a 514 and then gut the cam and lifters and kill the HP. If solid roller lifters were that fragile no one would use them. If you do not have the ability to adjust the valves then I understand the switch to hydraulic lifters. I do not enjoy adjusting valves when I could be driving but thats the price you pay for the HP.
