Re: hydraulic roller cams

[Max Wedge Gene <elukow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The hydraulic roller will make more power & torque but only at a lower rpm
range and the curves ususally follow the same characteristics as a similiar
solid cam. This means that under normal street driving there is more torque
& horsepower at the same rpm 's as the solid. The hydraulic rollers are
maintenance free but the long term reliablity is still not 100k miles. It
will be extra power you will feel while driving but on the track only if
the motor can turn some serious rpm's.

The cam in my Max Wedge is a custom grind solid and with plenty of cubes how
much additional power & torque do you want?

> Does anybody have experience with a hydraulic roller cam in a big block
street motor?  I'm just thinking about a future project.  I spoke to Dick
Landy and their opinion was that you're better off with a solid.  But,
they're talking about power.  The whole idea of a hyd roller is to get more
power and torque for a street motor with the maintenance free hydraulic
lifters.  But, are they maintenance free and reliable?  And how much power
do they really make?
