changing from hydraulic to solid cam From Comp Hydraulic 247/254 LSL to 256/264 solid. What do you guys think? Anyone tried this? Interested in what to expect from power gains on top. More cam, less cam? I want it to hit HARD on top. Have plenty of torque low end so not to worried about that.
I would like to see at least 50hp gain. I wonder if thats reasonable.

Why Paul? Your car runs hard how it is. Alex didn't gain anything off his solid roll cam change, just able to rev it out higher. But I don't think his cam specs are that good. You should get some shocks or gears

I have some dual adj QA1s that are going on the car TODAY.
I'm thinking more in terms of Vette Magic in June next year. Those chicken ***** don't allow nitrous at their event, so I want to see if I can go low 10s.
Your not going to gain 50 hp by going to a solid roller from a big hyd. Plus if the cam isn't speced for the heads or if you don't have big heads its not worth it. What's the set up? I'd put race breaks and suspension on first
