Default Feuling camplate/pump kit

Their 7075 kit looks pretty stout. The claim is that the 7075 material doesn't take cam bushings as it doesn't need them.

The pump also looks sweet. Anyone running this setup? Price is comparable to the SE parts when you mix in the lifters, etc...

Not going radical on the build, just looking for durability/reliability with some 222's for breathing.

Thanks!

In all the years/months/weeks of day to day constant high performace engine building here, we can count of a little over 1 hand how many times we've used a cam plate and pump other than an HD unit........and those that we have used have been only upon customer request.

Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated. While Hillside is in the house, can I ask if this Axtell 'oil bypass' valve is smoke and mirrors, or is there something to be said for it?

Can't thank you enough. Want to stay w/HD when I can as I've never been taken advantage of by my dealer.

I'll stay with OEM on the camplate, pump and pushrods, and S&S for the standard lifters.

You've saved me some grief - thanks again!

From things I have read it does its thing, but for less coin I went with the Baisley LMR-2 spring and plunger....it's one of those things that while you are in there tou might as well. The Baisley setup costs less and I know bunch of people without an issues.
