This is what I have BBC, 468ci, 10-71 blower, chiller, speed pro L2453F pistons, 291 rect port, closed chamber heads. I need a new cam. I would like to put a solid roller in it. How much lift can I get away with without worrying about valve to piston clearance problems and does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks

How much power are you looking at making? What is your max rpm you want to spin the engine?

6500 max rpm, engine is in a TX-19 youngblood jet with a dominator pump and a "B" impeller
