agreed. that was the only way i would do it, if he did the full DOD delete with new lifters, trays, and valley cover. I dont like the fact the DOD lifters are known to have issues with aftermarket cams, whether big or small.

he wanted to remove all the DOD BS,either way it would have been done sooner or later, small cam or not.
IMO,do it right first time or leave it alone!!
