Because it's awesomely fantastically cool to say you have a solid roller.

Not great power but this is with in the relative picture of solid roller cams.... a moderate cam. 245/248 with .630 lift. Absolutely great drivability. Put the same relative cam in, make more power, no drivability issues!! Sold!

Hoping to do slightly better with a little more compression but again, if someone can prove solids make more power and know for sure how to make them live on the street. My AMX card is readly and willing.
Not sure about LTX, but the LSX stuff is surely proof that HR cams can make great power up to 7000rpm and beyond. Perhaps it is due to now having much better flowing heads along with roller valvetrains that can deal with steeper ramp rates?
