Solid rollers on a hy-roller cam? Anyone have experience doing this? Looking for the reliability of the solid roller but with the valvetrain-easy ramps of a hy-roller grind. That, and about 7600rpm, with stock crank, good rods and light pistons, cam in the .620's and 250's at .050.
im running a hydrulic setup with the agressive LSK lobes and .651 lift. I think you could turn hydrualic lifters to 7600rpm safely. I'm not sure about your solid roller lifters though, i know there are people running them.

Thanks. Was planning on using the tall style solid rollers with the link bars at the very top to clear the block. Reason being that I just wanted to do away with the lifter trays, worried about the hy-lifters falling out the bottom of the trays when using a reduced base circle cam.
Im running lifter trays with 7.450 pushrods and have no issues. The link bar lifters are really nice though. They are something like $600 i think. I dont think that lifters falling out of the trays are the issue at all thats not why the link bars are there. The risk is the lifter rotating in the lifter tray which would cause the roller wheel on the lifter to not roll anymore.
