Yes, it's much more stable in the higher RPM's, but how long are you planning on driving at 6K+? That's why I said most wouldn't recommend it. Can it be done? Of course, but unless you're driving in nothing higher than 2nd gear, what advantage do you get in a daily driver that won't see those RPM's frequently? Sure we all drive hard but we don't road race/auto x. Don't mean to bash you, so please don't take it that way. Just letting you know why most opt for sticking with hydraulic rollers.

Also, motors built to run and make power over 8K don't start to make good power till 4500+. That's not much of a street combo in my book

thanks buddy


i have ran soild lifters on all but one 6.0 and i like it but then dislike it i never got a cam to match for the lifters and yes it is different.and no you don't have to set the rockers more than once but you will have to use a feeler gauge to set them. i have a set of lifters i can sell you cheap i can no use them on this motor i am building and have no use for them.
