Re: Best lifters, rockers for 396 LT1

$500 bucks is a little to expensive for me. What other lifters would yall recommend that are little more less expensive but aren't crap like the comp r's.

They may be pricey but consider the simple fact if you pay say 250 for a regular set of lifters and persay due to your valve train you kill them, well buying another set would equal just about what morel cost.... so just like with 10 bolt rears, why build them when you can buy a 12 bolt. just imo

i've seen a few setups lately where guys have been doing this with very good results (some goofy Buick V6 guys ). no lifter pump up, easy valve adjustment. and no slack in the valvetrain

just wanted too bring that to the 2nd page so it didnt get missed

If ya got a billet core it may be OK,but don't try it on a regular cast core custom cam,or off the shelf.
My opinion is to get the hyd roller specs ground on a billet core for mech rollers.
