I don't really mind being told my question is stupid....but anyway....

Like Gary said, a hydraulic roller cam is pushing $300 just by itself...not to mention another $300 for the roller lifters...plus the fact that a lot of people have stated that FE blocks are not the best for lubrication with a roller cam. I don't see much of a horsepower advantage vs money....and the only other plus side of a roller cam is not having to "break" the cam in for a period of time on startup.

On the flip side, you can buy a cam and lifter set for $199.99...and if you go with a solid lifter, you get good performance plus all the cool chatter.

I hope that answers my "stupid question."
