shimming hydraulic roller lifters solid

Was just looking at prices... it gets pretty nuts.. full set on ebay for $289... upto 1500+ a set.. Is the power gain from solids justified for that kind of cost? or only if you are trying to get every last hp out? i can't see 1500 for 10hp is that's all it is
It's more than 10 hp.

This is an expensive hobby. $1500 is indeed a lot but prices are up on everything and this is no exception.

Solid rollers allow much more aggressive lobes and more valvetrain stability at higher rpms that hydraulic can't match.
