going from a solid ft to solid roller would increase v to p clearance with similar cam and create more cranking comp because of ramp speed open and closein the valve true or not

Generally speaking, true. Problem with the question is "similar". They are both apples, but a Macintosh tastes a lot differtent than a delicious - so to speak.

Ian, I have checked many camshafts for V to P clearance, many of the closest V to P where with solid lifter cams, not with roller lifter cams. There is one way to try and judge the V to P and that is with the lifter hieght( valve opening) at TDC if you can get that information from the cam grinders

Why would anyone want to switch to a roller with the same spec's?
I would just keep the flat tappet in that case.
Its hard to compare a flat tappet cam to a roller even if the spec's are close..They are totally diff. I always check V-P specs, and degree the cam each and every time one is installed no exceptions period.

But to answer your direct question relatively speaking "Yes".
