On a stock shortblock the rpms necessary to make a solid roller worthwhile are a tad risky.

a solid lifter is gonna need to be adjusted alot more often. i deffinitely wouldn't go with solid if you are doing any daily driving.

If a solid roller needs constant adjustment something is wrong, though it should be routinely checked.
