Not Ranked
I know that guys running solids with high spring pressures are concerned with cars idling [less than 1200 rpms] alot -like our cars- unless you use pressure fed lifters. $$$$.
I would like to hear Brents comments on this.
Brent, what about hydraulics with beehives- still too heavy for 6300-6500 rpms on the FE?
If you can get your valvetrain to turn 6500 rpms with hydraulics, you can make good HP and have a maintenance free setup. A quality hydraulic lifter can take 150lbs on the seat and 400lbs open. This is easy for a SBF but like brent said FE, hhmmmm... I'm just not familiar with.
