any advantages to run with a solid roller setup over a hydraulic roller in a car that wont see anything higher then 6500rpm?

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

they cant idle for long periods of time, little noisy not bad tho definately make more power, most likely gonna have to change valvesprings to handle the profile. Do it do it ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)

solid roller is best for high rpms. if your staying under 6500 I think hydraulic roller would be fine

![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif) solid roller only good past 6500
without any combo details I am going to say you should stay with a hydro roller

Stay with hydraulic if you are not revving past 6500 RPM. Also solid lifters require constant adjustment and can be quite noisy. So if you are building a nice street engine and don't plan on abusing it...LOL, stick to hydraulic.

this would be a efi 408w with all the supporting parts. nothing purchased yet but a early 70's block, just planning it out before i drop any big money on parts.

Solids used to have to be adjusted all the time back in 90's, with todays technology solids havnt had to adjusted and readjusted for about 10 years now if not longer. If you ask me i love the power and rpm you get with solid cam and lifters opposed to hydraulic and yes they make good high revs but also make good all around power, definately streetable no matter what rpm your at. Im with solid if you got the dough.
