I guess I don't understand the "not a solid roller" cam ?
A lot of car today are aluminum engines with a solid cam (and hydro)

A solid roller lives in the upper,... rpm range, like full out racing engines. The problem in the past has been with cruising stop to stop light, so it was very hard on the lifters starving them with out lubrication. With todays modern lifter, they are... oiled, unlike the past lifters. These new lifters are supposed to be just fine on the street.

Comp cams has a very nice lifter (and rockers) for wild street roller cam.
More company's need to do this.
