Which would you choose: G-grind solid lifter or 266 Hyd head?

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

I do beleive that  though the GTi head breaths a little better, a JH/Solid
lifters Head 8v head once port/polished have more capabilities (so I was
told) but I could be wrong, I do Have a head for sale if you want to buy it
(funny you have 2 hydraulics and I have 2 solids).

=>My dilema:  I have a g-grind cam, but no solid lifter head for it.  But
=>I also have two hydraulic GTI big valve heads, but with stock cams.
=>Either way, I will P&P and get the head rebuilt.
=>
=>So, I either buy a cam for the heads I have, or buy a head for the cam
=>I have...  Hmmmmm...  Am I better off buying a more aggressive cam for
=>the hydraulic head?  Isn't there more restriction in the hyd heads
=>because the lifter base is lower/bigger though?  (less effective P&P)
=>
=>My other thinking is that since this head will sit on top of a 8v 2.0
=>litre w/ 2" TT exhaust I can go with a more aggressive cam than the
=>g-grind and still get decent low end torque...  It should be about the
=>same cost, unless I can come up with a good used solid lifter head for
=>cheap...  Anyone have opinions on the TT 266 hydraulic sport cam?
=>
=>Thanks for any input!

=>BTW, my Weber TB just sold on ebay for $131 U.S.  Nice bonus!
