Ok I've read the thread... And still need help.

I'm still not convinced either way SOLID vs HYDRAULIC ROLLERS.
I am convinced flat tappets are NOT for me (sorry Patrick).

Can anyone tell me if there have been any advancements in the last 1/2dozen years that would help a hydraulic roller control the valve train at higher rpms, or any advances in solid roller technology that would minimize the maintenance requirements.

Reading Jay B book and anecdotal research tells me I can get a truck load more out of my TW intake by spinning past 6000rpm.
It's not that I'll ever need it just cruising the streets to work and back a couple days a week, but it's there, and the rest of the build is plenty strong enough to cope, so why not tap into it?

Yes, I want my cake and to eat it too... What's wrong with that!?

Ps. Break in is NOT a concern of mine, I'll pay a pro to do that, but annual maintenance will be.

What would you chose and why?


Many thanks.
