I think 25 hp is likely on the LOW side of what could be expected. Of course there are tons of variables, but still, I'd bet you would gain better than 25 horse.

That said, I prefer solids. I would NOT run a roller solid, but would consider a hydraulic roller. But like I said, I prefer solid, flat tappet. It keeps me in touch with my car, it just seems more, hmmmm, 'manly'.

While it's true the new modern oils can be problematic there are ways around that and a long life for a solid cam CAN be assured. But it's certainly not as easy as it was 'back in the day'.
