Default Re: block type question

roller and hydraulic roller are completely different worlds. I'd love to see a hydraulic roller in a NASCAR engine

The faster you accelerate the valvetrain (ramp rate), the more advantage a solid lifter has over a hydraulic, end of story. Up to a point, there's not much difference. For a street application, either will work fine, which is why the engine mentioned above will work just as nicely as a roller block would.
