7k will be the redline. I know that you can make serious power with hyd rollers but I don't mind checking the adjustment if I solid roller will give me more power.
Do you guys think that solid roller won't yield any better results than hydraulic if I don't spin it past 7?

To me it's not worth the $1000 shaft rockers you "need" with solid lift, better bigger pushrods, lifters and some really good valve springs to make use of a solid lift. GM Hi Tech did an article last year sometime on this with an LSx engine and in a nutshell they went from a 232/234 .595/.598 112lsa hydraulic cam to a solid lift upper 230's/low 240's cam and it did make more peak power obviously from being a bigger cam and wanting more RPM's but peak power increase was only 10-15hp. This is not to say that solid lift sucks but in your application for what your goals are there are much better things that big $$$ can be spent on and keeping the hydraulic setup to make more power.
I personally wouldn't go solid roller unless you are going to rev past 7500rpm.
