Re: solid lifter cam experts please
A solid isn't going to benefit the engine from idle to 6000rpms. All of them have their range at typically 3000- 6500 on the low side. This is for a small solid lifter cam.
If you are looking for power from idle to 5000, chose your typical towing cam in hydraulic form which makes power from 1400-4600. If you are looking for power from 2000 to 6000 go one step up..
I would match your components to each other and get a good power combo instead of picking popular parts with catchy names.
Example, a single plane would go better with a solid lifter for better breathing at high rpms, and with a solid you would need a minimum of about 10.5:1 compression (eliminating 89 octane)......
