I have Isky 9365's in mine right now, but am considering a move to a K-motion K-1150 for a little more seat and open pressure. This is on a .735 lift Lunati solid roller that I just swapped in place of a .685 lift Herbert solid roller.Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

Had a lot of trouble 2 years ago with the Kmotions, some said they used to be the ticket but not anymore. Valve train geometery could of helped also. Looked as if Kaufmans 4 year old put it together. PAC springs now. If they can stand 500 miles of Nascar at ?????rpm.First place SSBBNA 2014 and 2015

K-motion K-800s here. .650 lift solid roller camshaft.
I have never checked pressures I just change them out every year before drag week. For $100 i figure its cheap insurance and I have plenty of spares now.1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S 340 with a 360

BBR, K-1000H. Of course if the valve geometry is junk it don't help.
BlueCuda, changing every year is very smart. I think one of the most trouble spots on DW is Valve train troubles. If I recam I think it will be Hydrolic roller. So much less stress not only on the engine but the engine driver!First place SSBBNA 2014 and 2015

Nextek 300 on the seat, 2 spare sets. Make sure you keep the heat down in the engine and use spring oilers when you can to cool them.2007 SBN/A Drag Week Winner & First only SBN/A Car in the 9's Till 2012
