Default Thinking of going to the dark side - solid roller

There don't seem to be too many solid-roller bigger cubed motors out there, but the ones that are seem to be getting really good track times. Too good. Good enough to convince me to go this route.

Thus, I am probably going over to the dark side. Here comes solid roller (plus obviously a bit more stall). The only thing to figure out is how well I can keep the nitrous with this setup. And yes, I want to keep this a daily driver too - just an occasional valve lash adjustment here and there . . .

Any of you other guys out there who are running one, how do you like it?

Greg
