Usually the lobes on a solid roller cam are almost square-like in their shape. They open and close the valves very fast. A side perk is that idle quality and part throttle driveability are usually improved with the more aggressive solid roller cam, because of the fact that the valves are actually spending less time off the seat. The downside is the higher cost of components, and the additional maintenance required.
