I put a flat tappet cam and lifters in, it wasn't a roller block or anything, but the cam i got changed the firing order, an it threw my computer into wack, making it run all messed up

to make it roller, there are two options...option 1 expensive 450.00 link bar retro fit lifters and roller cam.......option 2 reduced base circle cam and stock roller lifters and hardware and tap valley for spyder retainer, if interested in option 2 I have retro fit cam = comp thumpr cam .530/.515 lift but with the cam it still reccommends the retro expensive lifter = these
