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.

"Rough idle" and "TPI" shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
