Message	what about lifespan of solids? or lower rpm drivability? is that radical of a cam going to suck driving on the street? and do solid cause faster wear on the cams? Im just trying to explore all my options, Im getting a tt rebuilt and my machinist balances the bottom ends to be usuable at 9,500rpm, I drag race during the summers, but I still drive my car alot just for the enjoyment of it. Im not sure if I need super high rpm, but again, just want to know whats out there and peoples opinions of different setups. thanks TT BEAST IN PROGRESS!
