Maybe go all the way with tool steel lifters with a billet steel sft cam. I inquired about it and the cams can not be done because the blanks start out as roller cam blanks before heat treating and that goes .100-.125 deep. It gets ground off taking it down to sft size and you if you re heat treat the cams are not straight anymore and the journals can not be re ground. So its a problem.
You would need a special run of steel sft cams sized right from the start so the cams can be ground and straightened after heat treating. Even with the heat treating ground off you would think the cams would be a lot harder than a iron cam.
But I bet all your cam problems would go away if it could be done.
