400 Power?

Cams are designed for either solid or hydraulic lifters, so you have to change the cam and the lifters to switch the lifter type.

You really don't want solid lifters unless you need very high rpm (6K+) power, and you're willing to make valve lash adjustment a routine part of your maintenance procedure.

If you want more power than that Lunati cam can give, you should consider a different dual-pattern (hydraulic) cam with more lift on the exhaust valve.
