Well, here's the thing.... most classes do not allow the use of Schubeck lifters. Where they are popular is in those hydraulic flat tappet classes. Tough to find a decent hydraulic lifter these days.... Schubeck builds a "special" lifter that is real popular. Not to make a short story long or anything but it's crazy when you think about it. These hydraulic classes were set up to keep racing costs down, yet to be competetive, you spend a good deal of money on modified hyd. lifters when a rule change... "solid flat tappet".... for instance, would eliminate all that nonsense.
Anyhow, most classes aren't allowing any kind of ceramic or composite lifter so Schubeck get's the boot from the big boy motorsports.
I like the idea behind the "radius" lifter a little better but it requires a special Schubeck camshaft to go with it....

MG they seem pretty light, compared to a Crower solid roller lifter, like Pops said though, we don't have a scale to weigh them. They almost look like toys, they look so unconventional. Pops and I are in the middle of a mini-tub..one of those jobs that don't "seem" that involved to get done.....until you start and can't back up. It will be worth it though, to have the deep dish Convo-Pro on the rear and be lowered down on the 325/50's. So in the next couple of months we should be on the way to hearing it run.

"about half the weight of Crower's..."
Now that WOULD get me interested in these, as I'm currently looking to lighten the load on the valvetrain. Am I allowed a do-over? lol..

Now that is interesting.
You guys hurry up and get that thing on the road before the parts fossilize.
