Pros and cons of solid lifters?

But as far as performance goes is a hydrolic that much less than solid?


Yes...if you want a fast car get a solid, leave the squish sticks where they belong....mini van anyone? Seriously though, solids will always make more power than a comparable hydraulic.

You could go a step further and get a solid roller. I use a solid roller, throttle response is WAY crisper, and it makes WAY more power than my old 292/.509 MP cam thanks in part to very aggressive ramp rates and holding the valves open longer than flat tappets. I will never go back to a squishy cam...or a flat tappet for that matter. Just my 2 cents.
