Im pretty sure you can only use mechanical followers with a cam designed to be used with them. Newman for example made the camshafts and followers from the same material creating even wear to both the followers and camshaft. If you use the followers from one manufacturer and a camshaft from another chances are the materials are different, so one will be harder wearing than the other (un-even wear).

Newmans are the best out there and are used by many. Best thing to do is phone them and explain what power you are looking at and they will then tell you what you need etc.
