Kevin, we've had a zillion threads on the solid versus hydraulic cam thing, but I will tell you what I did on my build. Forget the horsepower/torque issue for a moment and instead concentrate on the "fun" factor. I went with the shorter stroke (4.125"), solid flat tappet cam, and a light aluminumn flywheel. All of that makes it "revvier" and really increases the fun factor while driving it. Now, in full disclosure, Barry R. likes the choice of a revvier 4.125" stroke while Keith C. says you should almost always go with the bigger stroke for more power (so he doesn't) -- I don't know which side of that fence Brent falls on. It's just a different view. But for pure fun, I think what I did was right and, if I were to do it again, I would do it exactly the same way.
