Hey I'm not choosing sides but the technology gap is shriking quite a bit. LS motors in what the low 8's with juicers and turbo's

I could have went solid roller but any more power on my motor would have been all upstairs and any more than I have would probably start eating up the stock 230 block. Like I said with My heads i didn't need any super high lifts (and the springs to go with it) plus I already had the lifters and springs left over from my old (somewhat milder) 508 RB.

From scratch I agree there's no real advantage except the occasional lash and maybe valvespring life if you've gotta have higher lifts/durations to get you to the power level you want. And as said earlier if you have a creatively plumbed turbo you might think twice about not having to do hours of plumbing removal and reassembly just to set lash (if you otherwise might not even have to )
