Butt cereal-iously, I'd like to hear about some tricks to getting solid flat lifters to live reliably in a drag car.

I'm not completely sure of my logic, but I know this is appropriate, somehow.

I think they're the easiest to get to live reliably in a drag car. They may limit the cam lobe aggressiveness to an extent, but there isn't any moving parts to fail. There are plenty of guys on here who have been running the same solids for years and years on strictly drag cars. Personally, I have a dislike for hydraulics as much as I do for automatics.

Don't forget about those pesky single quad intakes. Worthless lumps, I say.
