why would you want to go from roller to flat tappett? if you stay roller all you have to buy is a cam, you can get a used lt4 hot cam for about $100 plus there is not as much of a headache with roller, no lobes rolling off. if you go with a big cam you will have to change valve springs, mabey work the heads, and yes to computer tuning will need to be done.
