Solid and Hydraulic lifters on a stocker.

[Dan Fahey]

Going to an all Solid Lifter set up.
Does that allow for a better Cam Profile?
Or are the Cam Designer already there on Profiles?

On LT1
Have used both LS1 and Short Travel Lifters.
Did not see any performance improvement.
Other than a noisy Valve Trane.

I would ask your cam company if the cam profile would be different.The short travel lifters would allow you to run a lighter oil (0 wt.) without bleeding down for a performance gain. gsa612

Cam company wanted to know what style lifter i was using

Talked to John Partridge today at Bullet.
Only advantage to go Solid Lifter if the Engine has to Rev.
For example 7500 rpm or more

Light Weight Solid Lifters are available.
Meaning lower Valve Train Mass.
Which helps Solid Lifter reliability.
Provided adding more Spring Pressure makes them expensive for survival.
