On my Olds motor solid lifters are not available. I converted mine over to a solid style. I run .004/.005 lash hot. If I did it again I know now what my total is and would increase lift on cam profile as about .010 short on max lift. I would be scared to run zero lash hot as things grow at different temperatures and would possibly not allow valve to seat. No gospel just my .02

Going to an all Solid Lifter set up.
Does that allow for a better Cam Profile? Or are the Cam Designer already there on Profiles? On LT1 Have used both LS1 and Short Travel Lifters. Did not see any performance improvement. Other than a noisy Valve Trane. D |

I would ask your cam company if the cam profile would be different.The short travel lifters would allow you to run a lighter oil (0 wt.) without bleeding down for a performance gain. gsa612

Talked to John Partridge today at Bullet.
Only advantage to go Solid Lifter if the Engine has to Rev. For example 7500 rpm or more Light Weight Solid Lifters are available. Meaning lower Valve Train Mass. Which helps Solid Lifter reliability. Provided adding more Spring Pressure makes them expensive for survival. |
