The point, however, is that if a 750-850 HP, 358 CID, canted valve, flat tappet engine in a Cup car can run 500 miles at over 9000 rpm with a stock diameter solid lifter, then it's hard to imagine why it can't be done in a stocker that doesn't anywhere near that RPM and is raced a quarter-mile at a time.

You're still comparing apples to grapes...

The technology used to make a NASCAR engine live is so for advanced it makes a SS engine look like a high school mechanics class project.
