    I think what Jerry's saying is that you will likely be trying to get your $100 back next spring from one of your buddies, after you install the cam and make a couple of runs with it. If you're trying to move up in the local arena why would you buy someone else's cull? Also, I don't think I'd believe the guy's claim that "...the cam card says "hydraulic" but we had them grind it for solid lifters" on face value. If he ordered it for solids it would say "Solid Lifters" on the card.

    Call the guy at Comp Cams, explain your situation and buy a new roller cam made for your application. Just my $0.02.
