I don't know, I mean, that's expensive cut a cam from a solid bar of steel. I'd think you would also have the budget to have somebody figure it out for you, if you don't know.
No point having a cam without lifters, so, I would think that would be worked out early in the planning stages of what material to use and what hardening process.
But racers do like to take risks.
You stole a camshaft, need lifters....understandable. lol
I'd imagine the life of the dlc costed cam is not very long, but I don't know, glad we have you guys to figure that out the hard way. Lemme know what happens!
