Hydraulic rollers are great, but yopu need the rest of the valvetrain setup for them. (Sometimes even means drilling and tapping the block) The two cams you compared #9 and #24 are pretty close, pay attention to duration at .050 and overlap, those are the biggies as it concerns drivability. I promote small duration cams, everybody wants to go bigger, just to find out there car gets slower, drivability goes away, all that just from moving the powerband up 1000 rpm. If your motor doesn't really come on until 3000 rpm, it takes forever to get to 3000 rpm.
