I agree not a fan of hydr on a performance build. Were on the same page, but a solid roller can still present the oil pressure issues due to the lifter bore chamfer and is harder on the valve train. Trade off more hp and more maintenance or less hp and less worries. The real question about rollers is at what point should you pull them to at least inspect them. Every 2-3 years?
When they start squeaking!!!!! at least that's how the Street Outlaw boys do it.
Sorry couldn't resist.
