Low lash solid roller vs. hydraulic roller Anybody running a LLSR setup instead of hydraulic? Wondering how the profile would be different. Ex. Would a 232/400 Solid roller perform the same as a 232/400 hydraulic?

For a CAMMOTION LLSR you need to add ~8* to the HR duration
to account for lash. So LLSR 240*/248* ~ HR 232*/240*.
Similar vacuum and Driveability with potential for
1000 RPM Increased RedLine.

I'm running a LLSR in my LS2. Kip asked what profile I would want if it were a hydraulic and we settled on it being a 234/242. So the solid roller I received is spec'ced out to 239/247.
If you have the heads off just use a mic and measure valve drop. He can calculate what specs you can go up to and have enough PTV clearance.
The only thing I changed was the cam, lifters, and pushrods. Cam size went from 230/238 to 234/242. Car was running a best of 11.42 and now has went 11.33 with it being rich by 5%.
I'm using stock rocker arms on my setup with arbor shims to set the lash.

Verdad Gallardo LS1, PRC LS6 heads, T&D rockers, BTR platinum dual springs, Fast / NW 92, 1 7/8" headers, '02 Camaro, M6, street / fair-weather / Power Tour car that I road race now & then. I have not had the car on the dyno since I put the cam in last spring (made 415 on a Mustang dyno before the swap). Valvetrain noise was reduced 90%, power is great, very satisfied. The car idles / runs great but I do have some light-throttle bucking that I can't seem to fix. I'm tuning myself (EFILive) so that's part of the problem LOL. It took me 2 years tuning with my old cam (232/236 hydraulic roller) but I was able to remove 99% of the bucking but with the LLSR I haven't got it done.
