This has a cartek designed valve train, it also has forged pistons, rods crank etc. The engine carries strongly all the way to 7600 rpm. Not something you will get from a hydraulic roller.
I decided to go with a FAST manifold for cost, I would love to entertain ITB, but with the cost I would rather save it and add some Nitrous in the future.

My goals with this solid roller are to be very fast, I'm pretty sure it will perform.

This is a tight lash solid roller set up that requires little maintenance. Since it uses a shaft mount rocker it eliminates the danger of the OE rockers needle bearings from coming apart normally associated with high valve lifts.

No doubt a better manifold would allow for more power.
However I haven't seen a stock cube ls7 with real pump gas compression (11.2:1) even close to 630rwhp. Not even within a dream of that much power. And Carteks cars run at the track.
Awesome work Julio. Congrats to the op. Enjoy.

Congrats on the car Great numbers and a nice combo! I saw your car shortly after they put the rims on it... it looks menacing especially with the stance it has. Enjoy in good heath

Yes, I do have plans to take it the track. I have a CCW drag pack ready, I just need some practice as I've only hit the track twice before with a bad clutch.

Very strong numbers Daniel, that car has got to be downright nasty on the highway.
