Let me get this straight so what you're telling everyone is Chrysler Corporation dropped mechanical lifter camshaft in about 1967 in every high performance motor package available so women didn't have to adjust their lifters that's pretty funny, and furthermore there wasn't one solid lifter 350 Chevrolet that could get in front of my old piece of crap hydraulic 4-speed Speed Dart huge power Advantage LOL
I tried to add some depth to the topic, because evidently, you weren't tracking well.
Your claim: a hydraulic lifter cam will out horsepower a solid lifter can until 6500 RPM and above.
My response: BULLSHIT.
Simple really. The rest I added to try and get you to change your incorrect thinking, so maybe you will stop publishing nonsense.
And yes, women mostly pick the cars they drive. That science has long been proven. Most men are cucks. To that end, we have more than just hydraulic lifters. We have idiot lights, seat belts, air bags, anti lock brakes and a whole host of junk no one who can drive really needs. Or better yet, we don't need the government telling us what we need.
For the rest of you, you have Uncle Sam to tell you how to live.
Again, a hydraulic lifter anything will never make more power than a solid lifter anything. Ever.
Doesn't mater how many times you say it.
That's my point.
If you want to say that the hydraulic lifter makes less noise, I'd let that slide. Until you get to a lobe worth having, then the hydraulics ain't so quiet.
If you want to say you can bolt the valve covers on and not take them off, I'd agree. Until the lifters make noise and you have to screw with them.
If you say I'm doing a dead stock deal, with stock rockers and I don't want to screw with it, and horsepower makes no never mind to you, then by all means, use a squish lifter.
Just don't say they make more power. They don't.
And Chrysler went to all hydraulic lifters because they can use a cheap assed stamped rocker. And the tolerance is so big, a blind man can put the heads together and have a 98.75% success rate.
But they don't make more horsepower.
