it doesnt appear to be a roller cam by the looks of the lobes. if its not a roller cam then dont get it. why would you want to go from roller to non-roller? IMO

I ahve that cam... Decent cam if you have a tbi'd engine thats a non-roller. If you want a similarly priced roller cam for your application, keep and eye out for used lt1 cams.

for real dude, i just picked up an lt1 cam, z28 valve springs, and 1.6 roller tiped rockers for $110. just check around and talk to people. im sure youll find what you want. thats the exact setup i wanted, and it fell right into my lap at one hell of a deal to.

youd want to go from roller to non roller if the price was great.

Considering that rollers are very expensive it might be a better deal to go with a flat tappet

I did, and my car runs pretty well

pablo says his runs pretty well. pablos car is fast, its as simple as that. but he is runing a carb and flat tappet cam, which IMHO means hes gotten rid of the advantages of the LO3. but why go non-roller, when you already have roller. the PAW has flat tappet cams with just about any specs you want for $44(which is cheaper than the cam in question). just get a used lt1 (which specs out better then the cam in question) and retain your roller setup. im not jabbin ya pablo, we all know youre far more experienced than i am. this is just MHO.
