Wow, some very good input here. I as well think I will leave the oil dripping on my cam as I too am runninga falt tappet with some lift and since it's a street driven motor the extra oilon the cam is probably worth the minimal HP loss. I too will have rollers by the time I get this thing together I hope and had planned to run oil sprayers on the springs even though again, not comlpetely necesarry in my application, but it can't hurt. After I had mentioned the screen for the oil pan I started reading some of the latest thoughts on oil control and testing done on the screens vs louvered sheetmetal. The last custom pan i made myself the diamond screen was the new hot ticket...not so much anymore....scrapers, louvers, holes and pan kickouts will be used along with trap doors/baffles and such to control the oil once in the pan.
