I need help fast

guys I need help with a decision I can get some solid roller lifters for a good price are they worth it? Does the whole solid /hydraulic make a difference? I am running a superram will this affect the computer at all? thanks

On some motors, like a 302, solid lifters actually can make more power. For your car, hydraulic..

Don't bother with the solid lifters.. I've gotten them off of junk yard cars for free before(in my toolbox, heh heh).

You have to readjust the lash with solid lifters pretty often, but they can be made to rev higher than roller lifters. That is why some 302s use them; short stroke large bore engines like to rev.
