for a "normal" car with stock heads stick with a hydraulic. if your car is crazy like mine...I went ahead with a solid.

Its just what type of lifters it uses. hydraulic lifters are alot more "user friendly" and can be daily driven better, solids require lots of attention and maintenance.

hydraulic lifters don't ever have to be adjusted. solid lifters have to be adjusted every once in a while. sloid lifters don't require as much ramp-up on the cam, allowing for more aggresive profiles.
