A few weeks ago i posted a ? about an XE268 camshaft that i purchased from summit, and wether i should return it to summit, because i already had the High Energy 268, that was given back to me from my brother for which he no longer needed. Well i returned the XE268 to summit, and while doing so i got a big itch for a Retro-Fit Roller cam for my 350 sbc, so i added some more cash with my refund and i purchased the 12-422-8 that has a (.495 in. .502 ex)(.218 in. 224 ex @50)(1600 to 5400 rpm range) all i got was the cam, thinking i'dd save up for the lifters, springs at a later date. But as its looking now, im not gonna see those lifters and springs for another 6 months. I guess it was just one of those things where i just had to have it, all though i still have the High Energy 268 cam, i guess im just wandering if i made a bad move purchaseing the roller cam, since i had every thing for a flat tappet valve train ready to go. Once again my set up is a 76 GMC Sierra short bed, a 350 sbc with KB .030 hyper flat top pistons, 9.2 c/r, S/R Torquer heads 76cc chambers and 170cc runners, an Edelbrock EPS performer @ 600 cfm carb, saginaw 3-speed, 3.40 gears. Is the roller cam worth the wait or should i take it back to?
