Default solid roller version of the G5X-2 or 3?

The G5X-2s and/or 3s that people use are hydraulic cams (ramp rates for hydraulic roller lifters). What about for a solid roller lifter? With solid rollers you can run faster ramp rates right? Does LG make such an animal and would it cost the same (all the G5Xs are custom made at time of order right)?

With a solid roller you should be able to run faster ramps, yes... however, to my knowledge, there has never been a SR version of any of the popular LG cams (i.e., G5X2), but I don't see a reason why Lou wouldn't have one made for you... just call 'im up.

Actually Lou has been working on solids for quite a while when he isn't fabbing headers, etc... I will let Lou or one of the folks post up on that, but Lou already has some solid stuff.

Here are the known ones. The g5x2.x the g5x3 and the g5x4 are not "public" yet so, only the crew @ LG knows for sure. I made a few guesses though...
