Hello , Can anyone tell me the difference or point me into the right direction as im wanting to know if there is a difference between solid and hyd cams/lifters. most cars run the hyd stuff so whats the reason to go solid, does this depend on how much horse power your about to throw around . Any help would be appreciated.

I think when you go for a high lift cam it is best to go to solid as the sharp angle of the cam would just flog out the lifters. Thats how I see it anyway. I think when you go around 600 thou valve lift or more you need solid lifters.

Man there's been entire chapters in books dedicated to this subject!!!
I agree with Snappa but I'll add that years ago solids were the way to go for anything over 500thou lift because the hyd lifters could'nt handle the more aggressive cam ramps and va
