Solid Lifter Cam?

clearwaterms · 01-08-2001, 11:54 AM

What is involved in converting, I was reading a post by Sky about a solid lifter motor that spun to 6800 rpm's... I don't drive my car much and am always tinkering on it, so a little valve adjustment every now and then is no big deal... I have a stock motor, with a blower. For a budget upgrade, what do you recommend? What about one of those spyder intakes that is converted to Injection; along with a DFI system, that removes the Mass Air, a set of Aluminum heads and a solid lifter motor. Along with a bigger blower? I already have a 600hp capable AOD, and drive shaft, Im having the suspension and rear done in the spring? Is this a possible setup?

im not positive about the solid roller conversion, but MM&FF just did some high end intake dyno tests the past two issues, and one of the better performers was the victor jr-converted to efi-spyder. they werent using dfi, just an epec to raise the rev limiter. obviously, none of this is going to be budget, but that term is relevant. it just depends how much you have to spend. sorry i dont have the article right in front of me, but its a good place to start for the intakes and maybe some of the details for a solid conversion. hope this helps, nick
