solid roller. to, or to not. I'm not too knowledgeable on the whole solid roller deal. What would I need to convert my current CC503 setup to a solid roller setup? I know I need rockers, lifters and a new camshaft, is there anything other then that?
My car see's the street maybe 3 times a month. I'm not worried about mileage between adjustment of the rockers. I do however know that I could see a good bit of power gain.
Thoughts? Comments? Adding to my knowledge?

Your sig says that you have H/C/I 355 M6 and you are only putting down 351 rwhp. Something is wrong there. My CC503 cam-only M6 is probably matching your output. I think you need to look into your current set up and improve/optimize to get more power, not go solid roller.

Oh, I see your HP/TQ predictions thread. You have milled stock heads with a 3-angle valve job. Spend your money on some Ai ported stock heads before you change your valve train. There is a lot of power left on the table with your current set up.

Yea I guess I should change that. Plan was to port the heads but funds ran out. They haven't been touched. Since those numbers I've also put on a new MSD opti and a ram air intake. Dunno if it'll add much power but it was also a 100* day when I got the car dynoed.
I'd like to put a set of AIs on there, I know I'd hit the 400 mark, but if I did that I'd swap out the cam as well, as well as a set of caddy racing lifters over my stock replacement federal mogal lifters.

A stud girdle would be a nice addition too but in mild to moderate cam profiles, girdles aren't essential. It depends on what R's you plan to hit; over 6500 I'd say YES.
