How big of a difference is a solid cam on a LS1 i was just wondering how much HP can a soild cam gain on a LS1 motor. when i used run my old SBC, i remember that when i put in my first solid cam i lost like half a second in ET 
. considering that LS1s have ramp acceleration rates close to BBCs, i would figure that the only gain would be the fact that you could get a bigger cam then what is normaly offered by hydrolic grinds.
anyone?

I thought the main advantages to a solid roller setup were a more solid valvetrain at higher rpm, and more aggressive ramp rate cams, which would mean more flow but I don't think thats the main issue?
