I have heard great things about him but never bought one.

I've heard good and bad. Pretty much every business out there has good and bad things said about them.

true! i'm considering getting one of their cams. i just got my 363 dart block from CHP yesterday.

the only thing is whether to get a solid or hydraulic cam. i'll be using my stang for the street /strip, but also trying to get it in the 10's

I would use a hydraulic roller.but you could use a solid roller of you wanted,I just like roller motors.

i know i would make a ton of power with a solid cam but i dont think it would be good for the street

Iownastang · September 14th, 2007, 02:37 PM

If its a roller leave it a roller theres not that much power to be had by switching it over.But i mean its your choice you could do whatever you wanted.

woody1 · September 14th, 2007, 06:23 PM

Been running solid rollers on the street for 12+ years, if someone thinks there not much power to be had switching from a hyd roller to a solid roller, well there far from correct.

Iownastang · September 14th, 2007, 07:03 PM

I know but its all in what he wants to do,since its just a short block and is not built yet he can do whatever he wants.

sn-95aac · September 14th, 2007, 08:54 PM

i'm considering hydraulic cause i'll be using the car on the street alot but i'm wondering if it's a hassle to use a solid cam cause i would constintly be having to do adjustments like every 3 weeks so i was told.

Iownastang · September 14th, 2007, 09:05 PM

both are great.Like i said its your choice

Darrell · September 14th, 2007, 09:07 PM

Solid rollers are fine on the street. I don't know where or how solid cams were branded anti-streetable but that is far from the truth. Pretty much any cam grinder can grind a tight lash street roller. I've been running solid rollers on the street for years.

I adjust my junk about 2 times per year

a buddy of mine has a solid roller 393 and he drives it on the street quite a bit.

I use to run a solid lift roller cam (296 Comp) in a street car (355 Chevrolet), and never had alick of problems other than severe vacuum loss. I actually ended up running two vacuum canisters on that car.
