Re: 400-450hp 355 on a budget?

Someone with more expertise can chime in on this but whether you run a hydraulic roller or solid roller depends solely on the rpms you re running the motor at and not whether the motor is forced induction or naturally aspirated. Hydraulics are nice because they dont require periodic valve lash adjustments like a solid roller but for high rpms they will pump up causing a power loss or collapse from the higher spring pressures needed to prevent valve float at high rpm. Solid rollers dont have any issues as stated above at high rpms and tend to make more power at higher rpm, but like i said you have to lash them periodically.
