Cam Choice

SoulSurvivor , I hope you don't mind me asking a question while everyone is on board about cams. It is along the lines about cams.

I have a 360 with a .474/.474 MP hydraulic cam. I have adjustable roller rockers so can I install a solid cam with solid lifters, adjust the rockers, install everything and be done? I noticed that just by going solid that the cams really do "pop" in HP and TQ. I have ran the numbers on some solid cams that aren't much bigger in duration and lift on Comp Camquest compared to the cam I have now and gain 4 more HP and 21lbs of TQ. Wow. Why does the solid cams make such a jump when compared to other hydraulics?

I am probably not the one to ask seeing as I have been asking all the cam questions. But appreciate the fact that you would ask me. This my first rebuild and know just enough to get me in trouble.
