Solid roller cam or hydraulic?

Well here's my issue. I have my strip car going back on the street next year for 3-500 miles of use max! Do I go full mechanical roller or hydraulic roller?

Engine will feature NASCAR HP Block at 400-434ci, Batten stage 3 heads ported by Brandywine and flow 360@.800int 231@.800ext, Jesel shaft mount rockers and will be blown with an f2 Procharger. Thinking compression will be 8.8-9.5. Any thoughts?

It all depends on the RPM you intend to run. Above a certain point you need to use solid rollers. Below that point you just as well use hydraulic rollers. Just don't ask me where that point is.

Hate to ask a question with a question but whom are you directing your question towards? Most folks hear have drivers and not pro chargers.. May be another forum for blown aspirated engines..nice looking car by the way!
