In other words while HR cams make sense for some there’s still a pretty steep entry price for the peace of mind.

That gap tightens even more when you take into account what I mentioned earlier that I do with every flat tappet deal here, and that's nitriding the cam, which is another $150 to do, might be even more with todays prices. Then I also use a lube lifter option and those lifters typically cost double what a normal lifter costs, so you're looking at $300+ for those.
