My requirements... what to build?

Now the advantages; With a solid, you can run the next bigger .050 cam, for similar advertised specs, so if you are compression limited, this is a big deal. But for you, flip that statement around; you can run the next smaller cam, have the same .050 specs, but it will run less advertised durations. This can be exploited in the EFFECTIVE compression ratio. aj wrote above
comparing solid and hyd seat durations is tricky
mike jones is one of the few (except the white box grinders who use the SAE method) grinders who gives seat duration as .006 + lash which enables a direct comparison between his solids and hyd (which unfortunatly is singular for Mopars)
For those that do not know SAE measures at .006 AT THE VALVE
Which is the same as .004 at the lifter with a 1.5 rocker-
Like Crane and Summit, Cam Dynamics and a few others
