At What Point is a Solid Cam Better Than a Hydraulic Cam??

harrisonm said
I obviously know the difference between a solid and a hydraulic cam. I was just wondering at what point for a non-race car does it make sense to switch to a solid cam? Or does it for mostly the street and maybe a little strip? I am talking non-rollers here, and small block. I run a Comp XE268 with Comp hydraulic flat tappets, and I am very happy with it.

IMHO, that depends. For a flat tappet, how radical are you looking for. If the XE268H is working fine for you, stay with it. The other consideration is how often you are willing to lash the valves and how much difficulty to get the rocker covers off.
