since the power will drop off well before that point. I dont see spending $3k to gain 500 rpms.

Ive been in lucas's car - and power does NOT drop off - just look at his dyno graph.

Have you ever been in a car with solid lifters with same setup as Lucas?

and the other one he stops the run before 7k. Funny thing is I also run a 2 liter like he does but with a GT35R not a GT30. My turbo comes on at the same point as his and hits its peak before my 7800 rpm rev limiter.

Since you ignored my question Ill ask it again

Have you been in a car with sold lifters and this setup that can rev to 9000rpm to base your comments? (because I have - several times and most recently last night).

I was there on the day lucas did his dyno run. (You were not) Power was still climbing when the dyno operator backed off. He wanted to run again and push further into the rev range but lucas was already happy with the 280kw at the wheels and wanted to tweak the autronic some more first.

His car keeps making power up top - there is no question about this.

Its ok tho - your car makes good power as well - its just that a solid lifter setup gives a: a broader power rev range and b: more potential for top end power.

The solid lifters are only going to help if the rest of the setup can flow enough air to support it. Just adding the solid lifters is not going to change how the car makes power, it just allows you to go above the max rpms that the stock lifters will. This will only help if your peak hp is right at your rev limiter. Now if you like running your car 1k-2k over your peak hp then adding solid lifters will help, but at that point the hp and tq has dropped off below what your making if you had already shifted gears.
