Exactly.. the stock log type are just what i need to get rid of.... their holding the engine back just a little right now (rpms don't feel like like their building up as fast as they should).. and the motor is pretty much stock..... i already have the 750 carb on there at this moment and i have no problems with it... its not a double pumper but its a dual feed.. it doesn't bog the engine when i gun it so it should be alright...

One of my major problems that i found out the dragstrip is i don't have any top end power.. im not running out of rpms.... it hits 70 and dies.. and thats at 3500 4000 rpm.. with a 5200 redline i want some more power up the top end thats where i figure a little more beefier cam.. (doing something depending on my budget) with the heads.. and getting headers and a H pipe on there..

Im pretty much alright with the ignition right now running a pertronix module and a MSD-6 box with a super coil and 8.8 mm wires and autolite plugs...

now i know ill have to get a higher stall torque converter if im gonna get a beefier cam...

you guys have any experience with anti pump up hydraulic lifters? and what kinda cam am i looking at here... ill prolly end up calling some distributer and ask them what would be ideal.. but im trying to find a baseline...

your help has been appreciated and any more help would be too.... Thank You
Rob
