When upgrading to a roller cam there are several added benefits. Not only have we found them to be worth about an extra 40 horsepower on the dyno, when compared to a standard flat tappet of similar size, but you get quite a bit of added reliability as well. You don't have to worry about adding zinc additive to the oil anymore, (and you can run synthetic oil such as Mobil 1,) and there is no hassle of the break in process or lobes going flat, or any of that to worry about. If you have it in the budget, a roller is superior to the 60 year old technology of a flat tappet in every way.

Also, keep in mind that all roller cams require a bronze distributor gear such as our 200-1085, a bronze fuel pump pushrod such as our 145-1021, a three bolt timing chain with a torrington bearing such as our 114-1001, a cam button such as our 145-1005, and a set of the hydraulic retrofit roller lifters we sell. And, you must run 10 degree valve locks and retainers, and matching roller double valve springs. All cams we sell are normally kept on the shelf and ready to ship the same day. Feel free to give us a call and we'll help select the right cam for your application.

Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller Retrofit Cam - 252/258 - .571
This is our larger option from Comp Cams. After helping customers through dozens and dozens of builds, we found that Comp's largest off the shelf Hydraulic Roller just wasn't big enough for the 500 inch and larger engines running a good flowing (325+ CFM) head such as our CNC Stealth heads. We had many customers who had Comp custom grind them this particular cam, and it worked so well that we decided to offer it as an "off the shelf custom," keeping them in stock at all times for our customers. The .571" lift and 252 intake and 258 exhaust duration at .050" really lets the more serious builds reach their potential, while still having enough low end for some street use. These are ground on a 110 degree lobe separation angle. We'd use about a 3500 stall, and some decent rear end gears (3.55-4.10 for the street,) and a minimum of 10:1 compression. And, since this is Comp we're talking about, you can be assured of two things: The product is 100% made in the USA, and the quality is second to none.

Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller Retrofit Cam - 242/248 - 549/.544
This is our mid sized choice from Comp Cams, which works great for most street/strip stroker motor applications. In a 500/512" stroker, this cam will make power from about 2500-6500. The .549/.544 " lift and 242 intake and 248 exhaust duration at .050" allows for nice low end power without giving up strong pulling up top. These are ground on a 110 degree lobe separation angle. We'd use about a 2500 stall, and some decent rear end gears (3.55-4.10 for the street.)

This is our mid sized choice from Howards Cams, which works great for most street/strip stroker motor applications. In a 500/512" stroker, this cam will make power from about 2500-6500. The .565 " lift and 241 intake and 247 exhaust duration at .050" allows for nice low end power without giving up strong pulling up top. These are ground on a 110 degree lobe separation angle.

Howards Cams Hydraulic Roller Retrofit Cam 231/237 -545/540
This is our smaller choice from Howards Cams, which we recommend for most non stroker engines that want lots of low end response and drivability on the street. At just 231/237 on the duration at .050", this is great for lots of vacuum for power breaks. We'd still recommend running aluminum heads with a decent (2000-2500) stall converter, and 3.23-4.10 gears. These are ground on a 110 degree lobe separation angle. Howards makes great stuff, you know it's 100% made in the USA, and great quality.

Trick Flow Hydraulic Roller Retrofit Cam .600 Lift
This hydraulic roller grind is a great match for Trick Flow heads, or other CNC ported heads flowing in the 320 CFM or better range. With duration at .050" at a very streetable 243/247 degrees, but lift at an amazing .600", this cam allows good flowing heads to really work, while still keeping plenty of low end and driveablity for stoplight to stoplight response. Lobe separation is 108. We'd use about a 3000 stall, and some decent rear end gears (3.55-4.10 for the street,) and a minimum of 10:1 compression. Also, keep in mind that all roller cams require a bronze distributor gear such as our 200-1085, a bronze fuel pump pushrod such as our 145-1021, a three bolt timing chain with a torrington bearing such as our 114-1001, a cam button such as our 145-1005, and a set of the hydraulic retrofit roller lifters we sell.

Comp Cams HCT Evolution Cartridge Hydraulic Roller Lifters - Set of 16

COMP Cams Evolution HCT (Hydraulic Cartridge Technology) is their newest patented lifter. They've taken the same modern hydraulic lifter "cartridge" that is used on many current day OEM engines, and made a "blank" roller body to hold the cartridge. Check the additional pictures to get a visual idea of how this works. The cartridge design also allows for an incredibly stiff lifter body, greatly reducing body distortion and further ensuring consistent hydraulic performance. Comp has told us that they've tested the cartidges to 11,000 rpm without any valve float, which far surpasses anything else currently on the market for the Big Block Mopar.

This self-contained hydraulic cartridge and accompanying reduced oil volume delivers the most consistent bleed rates between each lifter. The smaller volume within the hydraulic cartridge creates one of the most responsive and quietest lifters on the market. Startup noise is greatly reduced and a precision controlled bleed down rate ensure excellent performance at high RPM. The patented cartridge design also allows for an incredibly stiff lifter body, greatly reducing body distortion and further ensuring consistent hydraulic performance. This patented HCT tappet is not just a performance Original Equipment replacement. This is an all new bespoke design started from a blank canvas developed to meet the demanding performance and durability our customers desire. Also, as an industry first the hydraulic element of this patented lifter is serviceable, allowing anyone to rebuild their lifters in their own garage.

The HCT and proprietary manufacturing processes of these lifters ensure precision and longevity that exceed any lifter on the market. Other features include increased duration and lift to the camshaft and two oiling features. And, since this is Comp we're talking about, you can be assured of two things: The product is 100% made in the USA, and the quality is second to none.

Seat height is 2.300". The "cup" in these lifters will fit either a 5/16" or a 3/8" ball size on the pushrod.

Howards Cams/Morel Street Series Retrofit Hyd Roller Lifters
Our Howards Cams Street Series Retrofit Hydraulic roller lifters are 100% USA Made in Cleveland, Ohio by MOREL. Morel started making lifters over 55 years ago for Eaton, and they now operate out of a 100,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Cleveland with over 100 pieces of manufacturing machinery, and they do all their own heat treating in-house, allowing them to maintain full metalurgical control. Sales and engineering for Morel is now handled by John Callies (of Callies Crankshaft fame.) They have grown to become an OEM lifter manufacturer for many other well known brand names such as Howards, Trick Flow, Erson, Lunati, etc. These high performance street lifters are designed primarily for ease of maintenance and reliability. They "drop into" a stock block with no machine work or oil system mods required, and work with all the steel billet hydraulic roller cams we sell, regardless of brand. The lifters have the bodies shaped with cold form technology, then Carbonitrided and tempered for proper hardness and maximum durability. They are then CNC-machined and fitted with precision check ball internal valving to prevent lifter "pump up." The roller wheel is hardened and tempered steel alloy, and the cross bars are made from heat treated stainless. These features combine to provide a broader power band and increased rpm potential, while still offering the low maintenance of a hydraulic cam. These are designed for street performance enthusiasts who want to upgrade to a hydraulic roller camshaft. These retrofit hydraulic roller lifters are specifically designed for street applications up to 6,500 rpm. Roller diameter is .700", and seat height is 2.661". The "cup" in these lifters will fit either a 5/16" or a 3/8" ball size on the pushrod. Howards part number 91767.

Solid Roller Lifters - Set of 16
Our Solid Roller lifters are a very nice quality lifter at a great value! These feature FULL ROLLER BEARINGS on the wheel (not bushings), as well as a solid lifter body, without an oil band in the middle of the lifter. In Big Block Mopar engines, with certain cams, solid roller lifters with a "cut" in the middle of the lifter body can uncover the oil galley and cause oil pressure issues. We made sure that won't be an issue here. A nice set, these are made directly for us by the same factory that makes them for many of the "name brand" lifters, and that allows us to offer them at a fraction of the cost. Roller diameter is .800", and seat height is 1.481". The "cup" in these lifters will fit either a 5/16" or a 3/8" ball size on the pushrod.

Bronze Gear Heavy Duty Intermediate Shaft - 4340 STEEL
Shown above is our brand new Heavy Duty intermediate shaft with BRONZE gear. These feature a heavy duty bronze gear made from ASTM standard 63020 Nickel Aluminum Bronze alloy. We also use 4340 non twist steel for the shaft itself, (the same material as our 1000 horsepower cabable crankshafts are made from.) The gear is pinned to the shaft to help with gear retention under heavy loads (such as high volume oil pumps), and we grind a radiused taper for extra strength where the shaft transitions into a hex drive for the oil pump. These are for use only with solid billet roller cams which cannot use a standard steel distributor drive gear. The quality on these is AMAZING, the same or better than the major name brand units at a fraction of the price! These work great with our high volume oil pumps. Don't forget a new bushing also!

Fuel Pump Pushrod - Bronze Tip for Roller Cams
Our new premium BRONZE TIP fuel pump pushrods are designed for use with billet roller cams. They are made from hollow 4130 Chrome Moly steel which then has heat treated tips pressed in. This process allows for over a 30% weight savings compared to stock replacement type pushrods, which are made from a solid steel bar. This model features a BRONZE tip, and is designed to be used with 8620 ROLLER CAMSHAFTS ONLY. We carry a different version with steel tips for use with regular iron cams. If you're looking for the best there is in the Big Block Mopar fuel pump pushrod department, this is it. Nothing else on the market has the durability and weight savings of this piece.

Full Roller Cam Button
Don't forget to order a cam button with your three bolt timing set. These are great for setting the end play on your camshaft. While they are absolutely required for a roller cam, they are also highly recommended for use with a solid or hydraulic to make sure everything is kept exactly where it should be. This full rollerized button is the best one we've found on the market. These work with our 3 bolt timing sets 114-1001 and 102-1004, or any other sets which feature a .750" (3/4") diameter center hole. The length on this button is .715" long. We recommend setting roller cam end play between .005" and .010". These work best with stamped steel type timing covers.

Comp Cams Cam and Lifter Installation Lube, 4oz Bottle
Comp Cams has taken great pains to develop what they feel to be the best line of lubricants available to protect your engine before startup and during break-in. Used by professional engine builders throughout the country, their cam and lifter lube is a red tacky oil which sticks to the surface and won't bleed off. This is ideal for engines which will sit for any amount of time between initial startup and when the cam and lifters were installed and lubed. This ensures your cam and lifters have full lubrication upon startup, preventing any galling or scuffing upon first contact. One 4oz bottle is enough to do one engine.

Comp Cams Engine Break In Oil Additive
Along with the purchase of any Comp cam and lifters, we also strongly recommend using Comp's engine break in oil additive. This is it essential to make sure your cam and lifters are fully covered under Comp's warranty. It's a well known fact that, due to EPA regulations and other reasons, over the last few years oil manufacturers have removed the Zinc and other additives from their motor oil. If you try to break in a brand new cam and just add regular "off the shelf" motor oil from your local parts store, it is VERY likely you will have a failure. You must add this additive to the oil to replenish the zinc which is no longer included by the oil manufacturers. This works with synthetics, blended, and standard petroleum oils. In our own engines, we usually get a couple extra bottles to keep on the shelf and add one at every oil change. It's cheap insurance.
