What I am saying is that a hyd roller will take more then most on here can dish out to it and live. No need to put a soild on a hyd profile. & without all the excessive spring presures, wear, noise, be able to run knock sensors, checking adjustments. blah, blah, blah. LOL.

So if i can run 9's on real pump gas with a hyd roller and not have to worry about the wear on the roller, etc in a 3450lb stock suspension car, Why would i need to go to a solid?

If hyd roller were that great. Line & Anderson would have them. LOL. But then again........... this is the Street section
Running 9's is not your everyday average Grandma mobile. I'm pretty sure the car was built for speed, otherwise it would have a 4 banger in it to get good mileage, correct?

I agree a hydraulic roller is a pretty much install, adjust, and forget type of deal you need as a builder, trying to keep the customers happy, and I applaud that. But there is a difference in bulding an engine for dependability and building an engine for all out performance. As usual in this field it's a compromise. Where you draw the line is an individual choice. Making the most power is a fact.
