Wondering about the loss of lift running solid lifter. If you have to run lash but the cam is checked at zero lash by NHRA then you would have to lose some lift using solids. Question is, do you lose lift with a hydraulic lifter at zero lash or with some preload, and how much? Then is a solid lifter really the way to go?

You not only lose lift. You lose duration too, and more than you would think.

Treated cam, tool steel hydraulics plugged at .008, lash them where you like.

I absolutely agree with both Derek and Alan.
MY boy will be testing the solids in his combo.....I will let you know how it ends up!
