Leon, unless you're running coated lifters and a billet camshaft I wouldn't go over 180 on seat. I've never been able to run 200 on seat without wiping out lobes, and Ive tried all the usual lifter combinations ( hole in bottom of lifters different oils and lubes)etc etc. The tool steel lifters with a nitrided cam is what I use at 180 / 360.hope this helps.
