Re: the perfect solid roller?? Nitrous cams are a little out of my expertise <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> but Nick picked the cam going into my new motor and it sounds great. Definitely not streetable. With that size engine I assume you can get by with a lot of duration and lift and be fairly streetable. Give Nick @ ARE a call and I know he will lead you in the right direction. I'd assume you'd probably be looking at something like 248 252 .622 .630 or so. Not sure about the lobe seperation but I'm just guessing. That wouldn't be super agressive in a big motor <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> Sorry I couldn't be more helpful at least this is a ttt for you.

Re: the perfect solid roller?? lets do this again...i think i confused what i was wanting to say.
if "you" wanted a solid roller, what grind would you get. wether the motor was a stock displacement or stroked/bored..
what im trying to do is get a general conversation started here on solid roller cams.
also, ive heard in the past that on some hyd roller cam cores a solid roller lifter can be used, but you would need to tighten the lash a bit...any one know about this?

Re: the perfect solid roller?? The actual lobes themselves are pretty important with the solid lobes, since a peak lift at duration at .050 lift isnt as descriptive. You have alot more flexibility to do things more radically.
When I was looking into it, there were alot less choices. I ended up choosing with Katech a 244/244 .61x/.61x 110 ls cam that they really liked for drivability. Sounds radical to the hydraulic camp, but it was a really nice idle and was very streetable. No idea about emmisions tho.

Re: the perfect solid roller?? actually aaron, those numbers are typical of the soid rollers i have seen.
i was thinking of something in the 245-255 range at about 600 to 650 lift for a stock cube motor.
what do you guys think?

AAron, a solid roller setup can handle a much larger spec cam due to less limitations in the lifters and such.
