Re: Are you running a solid roller cam? You don't need a solid roller to go fast, but some day I'd like to try a solid roller 346. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Are you running a solid roller cam? How streetable is the solid setups? and what has to be done? Any head work? If I wanted to make ... say a 500 mile trip, will it make it and do you have to always "play" with it as in the old SBC?
Re: Are you running a solid roller cam? Driveabilty is one of the benifits of a solid roller. Switching to a solid roller consists of changing lifters,cam,shorter pushrods,bigger valve springs,and adjustable rockers and slight head fitment. If you go with a mild solid,the adjustment period can be pushed to 1 year,but it would be better to check lash every 6 months,they are not like the "old school" flat tappets.
500 mile road trip is no problem
they can be driven every day,have better gas mileage and the top-end pull of a solid roller has no equal.

Re: Are you running a solid roller cam? The difference between a solid cam and hyd cam is the lifters(hence the terming). A hyd cam lifter has an oil pressure biased plunger that takes up valvetrain slack. The problem with this at high RPM(6500+) the plunger will "pump up" and hold the valves open,and losing power. A solid lifter is just that-solid,no plunger to pump up. This allows us to use special camshaft lobe to take advantage of this action. Also it requires adjustable rockers to control lash(slack in valvetrain)and bigger\stronger valvesprings.
Hope this helps you to understand the difference.
