Why honestly go through the trouble of getting a cam that is probably wrong to begin with, and then purposely use it wrong?

Like others mentioned. In the long run you will be much better off purchasing something specifically for your application.

Duration means nothing in this circumstance, lobe profiles are typically very different between solid and hydraulic.
