Correct, didn't want anyone to think that I don't like or use flat solid camshafts. It's just that you are going to need to choose them bigger than you would a flat hydraulic cam to do the same thing.
IF I do any more testing in that area, we'd be replacing a 230/240 flat hyd cam with a flat solid around 245-255 to hopefully accomplish the same thing.
For our build in question here, the SD 455 with some head porting and 4 speed application, we went with a 230/236/112 HR cam. It will have great street manners, nice idle quality, and broad/flat torque curve. I'm hoping to see peak HP around 5400-5500rpm's, and over 500ft lbs torque across most of the load/speed range.......Cliff
