Yes, everything is available till you put your money down then it's backorder. The new normal.
You can.... but the lash eats up a lot of duration, especially coming off of base circle...Doesn't anyone run solids on a hydraulic shaft in this day and age.
We ran solids on hydraulic shafts 40 years ago.
Your best option may be to get a used stock cam to send to Oregon Cam Grinders. Ken has some good solid profiles available.Yes, everything is available till you put your money down then it's backorder. The new normal.
This ^^^^ is the straight up truth. I'll even add that right now in time, you just cannot trust almost anyone's hydraulic lifter. I've seen people tout Johnson's for instance, but I've also read about their failures too. If I was going to run a flat tappet hydraulic cam in something, I think I would ask around for a set of used Chrysler lifters and have them refaced and reworked. Ken Heard at Oregon Cam can make it happen. He might even have some. I cannot preach their good service enough around here.It doesn’t matter how well matched the cam is to the combo....... when you add a hyd lifter to the equation, ultimately you’re at the mercy of how well the lifter translates the cam motion into the pushrod.
Which usually leaves something to be desired...... especially as the RPM goes up, and the spring loads are increased to maintain control of the valves.
In a race car, that’s a definite “no thank you” from me.
As for the original question......
Low-11’s for me with a Racer Brown ssh-44 in a 440, in a 3575lb B body.
Stock rockers with adjustable pushrods.
Mopar Power? Just kidding, trying to be funny!You didn’t specify make, model, brand, of engine so I’ll add this, Kevin from KSR has a Camaro named soccer mom. Look it up. He runs deep in the 8s (might be in the 7s now on alcohol) with a big hydraulic roller. And he spins it 8600 rpm.

Now that might ruffle the Chevy boys’ feathers a little. I like how you think.Mopar Power? Just kidding, trying to be funny!
