To advance or Not

I was reading and it says if it's a hyd cam I would need to get a solid lifter and an adjustable push rod to degree it also ?????
lots of info out there,too much!! That's what I thought till I posted the question a week or two ago. I got a lot of suggestions and worked out great! I'll say this and people can raise he'll about it but I just used a factory hydraulic roller lifter. Pain getting the dial indicator set up at the right angle but after all was good. The dial indicator doesn't even come close to putting pressure on the lifter ( cup??)
