solid roller vs hydraulic roller...differences? alright. how much would it cost to convert a hydraulic roller to a solid roller. how much more cam could i use (with room for nitrous)? what are the differences in sounds so far as valvetrain noise (i like it) and reliablity, like would it be good for a daily driver still? where do i kit a solid roller package...i've never seen any sites selling them. thanks for the help.

Re: solid roller vs hydraulic roller...differences? I think futral has done a few, You can run a larger cam than with a hyd and still have better drivabilty than with a hyd roller, This is due to the faster ramps. I think you will also have to use a very expensive rocker set up.

Re: solid roller vs hydraulic roller...differences? Shaft mount rockers for sure to adjust valve lash. I heard something about futral running his shop car for up to if not over a year without adjusting lash. With the solid you can get way bigger of a cam, more lift and more aggresive ramp rates are the reasons why most go with em.
