P90A head question

[Zlost]

Hello all

I have a P90A head, I took the lifters apart and cleaned. They look okay to me, no visible pitting or damage but not really sure what to look for.

Before I buy a new cam for it (old one was damaged in storage) I wanted some input; is it worth buying a stage II Schneider for the P90A or should I ditch the hydraulic lifters and convert it to a solid lifter? I have read many posts on how too but not much info on people running the hydraulic lifters and if they are having problems with them or not. I like the idea of a quieter engine and wouldn't mind connecting a knock sensor to the MS2. I am currently running a P90 with 16 PSI of boost. No issues and the car runs fine, just looking to make it a little better.

 

Thanks

Simon

If what you have is working well I would stick with it.  To convert the P90A right, you'll need the solid posts, new rockers, and a good cam.  I've had bad luck with Schneider cams.  Regrind your stock cam if you want to go that route.

Thanks rossman

any recommendation on where to send the cam?

Isky is a good one that I've used.  There are others.  Read up on how to set up a reground cam.  You'll need new, thicker lash pads to get the geometry correct.

Thanks for the suggestions. 

I emailed Isky asking about the cost for a regrind but have not heard back, i might have to give them a call.
