I like 'bumpsticks' lol

A few of the HR cars are running the Ferrea roller rocker setup, and same goes for SFWD cars as well.

Yeah, i haven't tuned anything with the right cam profile with the rollers.

I run the Skunk 2 Pro 1's. They work ok i guess.

It's not a custom grind to my knowledge. Millers sounds like it is.

I would say the standard Ferrea grind seems to work pretty well on alcohol cars. Don't quote me on this, but I believe that is what Eggum was running there at the end. Maybe Jeremy will confirm or dispute that.

Demaree ran the same grind, but he was only making about 790-860hp on any given day...they had some growing pains when they went to alcohol and if he had more time I think the car would have really flown. The camshaft was good and that is what he always ran on gas and E98 but his cylinder head was not good...only 20cfm better than stock and the exhaust was just a shined up stock port. I think the cam responds really well with a good cylinder head like the Stewart head Simpson was running...or even the Dart head is good. Why people never jump on the Dart head deal I don't know. It is better than 90% of the **** people are putting out there.

Tony proved that the Pro1 works really well, but I think others have proved equally that the Ferrea makes big power and you can't deny the advantages of the rockers. It is setup dependent...but either one of those seems like a good place to start. For alcohol, use a big port and don't neglect the exhaust side.

Now that I read your other thread, I see that this is an all motor setup. Ferrea/Crane roller setup without a doubt, and there are lots of grinds for you to try that aren't listed or advertised.
