your cam regrind will be expensive if you plan to use the roller rockers.

well to be honest, i dont think there is really a cam grind for roller rockers.

as you have a second gen head, putting sigma lifters becomes a slight problem as the valves are different lengths (still a problem with the first gen head as well, but not as bad). the adjustment needs to be wound almost to one extreme. the lifters hit the valves at an odd angle.

So yours saying running this cam with this head is bad for the head and I should buy some second gen lifters and a second gen cam, but if I do that won't I also have to replace the pistons as mine are flat on the top?
