I'm sure I can figure out why I would lose lift and duration looking at the parts,(you can elaborate though) so would I gain lift and duration running hydraulic studs on a solid cam? I've got tons of spare parts. Euro 3.5/4.5 cams I don't have spares. One set in a euro 4.5 but it's really fonzi's engine.
