just read through this thread you started. I know its apples to oranges with the Hyd Roller vs SR.

Steve C alludes to David Vizard running a big block Chevy 242 - 248 solid roller with beehive valve springs with 150 psi on the seat.

I guess wading through all the chatter. Do I need more then 160 lbs maybe 400 to 450 open if i'm just looking at revving this motor to 6000

Keep the valves, put good springs with light retainers and thick wall pushrods?
