Very interesting & thanks. It sounds like the the hydrolic lifters were able to support your fairly radical cams though. So you were using the SVT single X-honed UIM and SVT optimized t.body and making near 100 HP/L or 80FWHP/L. This suggests that on the 2.5L SVT these parts may be good for up to 200 FWHP. So maybe that 65mm t.body and extra X-honing of uppper are not required??
I wonder what you could have pulled out of that motor with the 65-70mm t.body, extra X-honed UIM, and 2.5" exhaust with custom A-F tuning???
