I don't think there is a lot of experience with solid street rollers and certainly no guarantee that a lot more power would be made. At least not a lot that I could find. However, many have run the OF/Hybrid and the results are well known relative to HP,TQ, 1/4 mile times, RPM range, vacuum and idle quality. Not to mention we know what lifters, springs etc that work with this combination. I don't have a need to be a "pioneer" with a $1000 investment that I really didn't want to make in the first place.
