I drove one and that’s with stamped rockers and springs that had about 100lbs on the seat IIRC..

The difference from a hydraulic cam engine to a solid cam was like night and day.
Please tell that to NHRA, the solid lifter engines were penalized with HP from the factory and now that all the hydraulic engines can use solid lifters they didn't get HP. But the solid lifter engines didn't get a reprieve of HP.
