What lifters are decent lifters to run with the ZZ409 cam when I put it in? I heard Comp R's are a little better than stock but their bearings fall out on them. What lifters are most of you running?

 

That cam can be either be run on stock lifters or pretty much any hydraulic roller lifter that will work with the LT1. I know a couple people in my car club that are running stock GM replacement lifters on the zz409 and they seem to be doing just fine.

 

Bearings fall out? Never heard that one.

 

come on shoebox, its on page 88 of your technical reference

 

comp R's or nuttin!! Plus they are painfully easy to set the correct amount of pre-load.

Is there any downside to using OEM replacements? Also, I am just curious how much of a HP gain RR give you.
