Roller, Hydraulic or flat??

[TrxR]

I am currently researching for a 451 build this summer for my 87 Dakota and am not sure wht type of cam, rockers or lifters I should use. This will be mainly a street truck so it has to be reliable. Should I use a Roller setup , flat tappet or hydraulic? Also has anyone ever used Schubeck lifters? if so what type and what is your opinion??

PS I am wanting to run low to mid 12's posiibly high 11's down the road.

When you PS 12'S or 11's down the road or you talking the 1320' road?

I would hope 1320 feet, if its just 660 feet, then just drop in a stock 318 and it will do better than that. Those shubeck lifters will cost as much as rollers so why not just go roller. I like solid lift cams, there very simple in design and do the job better than the Hyd, which doesnt work very well above 5500 rpm's.

Hydro Roller with Roller rockers. The only way to go.

I did mean in the 1320' and I want low to mid 12's and maybe high 11's in the future.
