Not meaning to hijack the OPs original post but for me, I'm perfectly happy with my cam, it's the hydraulic roller lifters that have been problematic. Two sets, two manufacturers, both have had issues. Rather than roll the dice on yet another, I fancy the simplicity of solid lifters. They're a bit lighter too. I would have thought that with the slightly lower spring rates and less aggressive ramp, solid rollers should have an easier life on a modest hydraulic roller cam?

My car is definitely not a race car - probably less than 1500 miles a year and maybe an occasional trip up the strip for 'run what you brung' night.
