I actually like running solid rollers on the street. But the lobes must be carefully thought about, as well as spring pressures, rocker arm ratios, lifters, etc.

The Comp Xtreme Energy lobes work really well on the street and make really nice power to boot. I like the Crower HIPPO lifters or the Isky Red-Zone lifters and the spring pressures must be matched to the rpm range and intensity of the lobe. My solid roller stuff generally starts out at 225 seat and 525-530 lb open and goes up from there.
