Hydraulic Roller vs Solid Roller Cam... What's right for you and how much does it really cost?

In Today's video we get a little technical and answer a few questions about selecting the proper cam for your LS or LT car. If you're going after records and want to make the most power possible you need to see what it takes...

Definitely needed a video like this on YouTube!!! Most people just look at the price of the camshaft and think that’s all they need to make a certain amount of power but not the working components that go with it

Will stock LS crank&regular 6.125” compstar rod hold 9k rpm if you switch to solid system ?

Appreciate the video and forgive my ignorance but for a high compression naturally aspirated ls7 do I want hydronic or hard roller?

[Louwebster]

Thanks for a great video! I learned a bunch!

I like solid lifters. Seems like less failure rate over roller. At least in diesel’s.
I’ve never had a roller set up fail in a gas engine. Seems like diesels will eat a lifter and send needle bearings through the oiling system

7:40 that’s not a butterfly valve that’s a Bald Eagle valve!

Thank you more information like this is very helpful.

Johnson lifters are way better than LS7 lifters, they cost more, but if you haft to replace a cam with a flat spot and lifters you spent $ the second time that you could have spent the 1st time and still be driving.

Guys I’m beginning to build up a C606 as a track car but not a dedicated track car. More of a mix between a weekend fun car and a half a dozen or more trips to the track every year.

In your opinion, would it be advantageous to spend the money and go for the Stout set up of solid rockers and maybe some more RPM, or is that just throwing money away. I guess cost of value is it worth it? Is it that much of a benefit in terms of Power and drivability? I would love to have an 8500 RPM LS7.. but are the benefits to that commence it with the cost for what I’m looking for.

Sorry for the rambling post. It’s hard to put this into words.
