425open, use a hydraulic roller with same aggressive profile as solid and have the best of both worlds.

Why not? I was cruising through the Lunati web site, and they have beehive springs specifically for the solid roller cams; 425# open pressure.

Everything I'v read about the beehives say that they're the next step in spring technology. But not many racers are willing to step up and give them a try. If they're all they say they are, seems like that would be some easy power.
