Someone help with my cam choice please.

I am getting ready to switch to a roller setup. I want a cam great from like a rolling stop but one that is good for high rpms too. should i wait till i get knew heads or is it going to be a big deal or am i gonna have to change my valvetrain over again. also should i get solid or hydralic. is it hard to get in there and adjust the solid ones. i was told that the hydralic ones arent for high rpms. please someone help me out with a good setup.


I feel like a lost puppy.

88 shouldn't be an LG4 and the 88's should be roller already. i'd recomend picking up an L31, LT1, or LT4 cam.
