Must I use a HR camshaft in a roller block, or can I use a regular hydraulic one?

I will sacrifice a few HP to cut a couple hundred dollars in cost.

If I have to use a HR camshaft, what is my best bet for an emmissions legal camshaft that won't chug gas for breakfast?

You can use flat tappet. You'll need a set of non-roller pushrods to go along with the cam, lifters and timing set.

The Crane computer compatible cams are pretty nice. I got 18 mpg on my last tank of commuting (and more than a few on-ramp test sessions).
