At What Point is a Solid Cam Better Than a Hydraulic Cam??

I have used solids in everything of mine for the last almost forty years without issue, the problem with solids and the general public is maintenance , look how many people just drive there cars until they are junk because of no maintenance. I’ve always wondered why the hp 440,383 and 340s didn’t have solids from the factory.

You know the answer to that. Cheaper and simpler. Max wedges had them. 273's had them. HP Hemi's from back in the 50's to the 60's. Even /6's had them into the 70's.
