Pros and cons of solid lifters?

Guess it all depends on which you prefer i run Hydraulic cams,and as far as rollers and solids making more power that all depends on the application,i know of one guy running a 408 s.b. stroker with a .550 something roller cam he can't touch my "stock" stroke 360 with about the same size hyd. cam...

I would think the 408 you are speaking of has something wrong with it tuning etc must be WAY out or the guy is a SHITTY driver.............period!!!!!!!!!
