I would also urge you to investigate thermal and low resistance coatings.....

You didn't say whether you have to run a hydraulic cam. If so, make spacers to push the plunger down in the lifter body until you have only 0.005" to 0.010" plunger travel. Hey, it's still a hydraulic, but it's about as close to being a solid as you'll get. NHRA guys do it all the time.

Solid lifter cams are ok--no oversize lifters though.... Oh yeah, Holley 4412 two barrell carb, blueprinting only, no jet plates are circuit altering.... Can't even use the thin throttle plates or grind the screw on the throttle plates...
