Can you run a solid cam with more duration on the street than a hydraulic cam

for example most hydraulic cams run good on the street with 225 - 230 degrees duration and around .480 lift.

Can you get away with a solid lifter camshaft at 250 - 260 degrees duration around .500 lift?

I'm only asking this question because I'm curious to why you can run more duration with a solid lifter cam on the street and get better horsepower.
