Default using ford followers with a kent cvh 34 cam kit?

hi just need to know if its possible to use ford followers with a kent cam kit ive got the cvh 34 kit, but its been in for around 2k miles and ive just rebuilt the bottom end i think one or 2 of the followers are noisey!, so was wondering if they can be used, not worring to much about losing performance just need a quiet engine!

CVH34 gives ALOT more low down torque than the 35...with the 35 i have found that you HAVE to wait till 4k before anything happens (after the peak boost) and then you get chucked back in your seat and your there till redline

with the 34, i can floor it at 2k and the car instantly takes off...on full boost by about 2700rpm holds peak boost till about 3.5 tails off slightly then 4k feel another boost in power as the cam is now also on full chat right through to about 5800-6000rpm where i usually change gear...i have taken my car to the standard limitor and is still pulling well

with your spec...the 34 is a VERY good choice! and DEF comes highly recommended from me as your turbo will be pushing more than enough air for the engine to continue to make the power to redline
