about to change over to a solid roller setup and was just wondering what solid rollers you guys are runing and if you have seen any problems out of any of them. also list part numbers and the price you paid for them and where i can i get them for the best price.

Thanks

Mike

 

I was about to use the Comp EnduraX lifters, but then I sold them because I "shifted gears" so to speak. I narrowed my choices down to the Comps and the Cranes from feedback on this forum, and price.

I've used the Comp EndurX on the street and really liked them. Haven't heard but one person who doesn't and ironically enough that was for a CZ28 board member.
I prefer to use the Isky aluminum top solids (1241 series) in my race cars and I'm even using them in the LT1 build we just finished. Nicest thing about them is the fact that you can run a much shorter (stiffer) pushrod and that keeps down on valvetrain deflection. Although the biggest gains are seen on the valve side of the rocker, using a shorter pushrod seems to help keep the valvesprings happy longer. Just my experience here.... either that or you can use Jesel or Schubeck.... I've used both but they are pricey options and overkill for a street engine.

well the car is now strictly a drag car so im not worried about street driving. where can i find the isky lifters and who has them at the best price. i know the endro x are 420 kinda pricey but i do want a nice setup.

Hey Mike FWIW i ran the EndurX on my solid roller/stock bottom end setup, and liked em....

 

any ideas on where the best place to get the best price on these lifters might be

 

Don't know about the best price out there but I bought my Isky aluminum top lifters from Flatlander Racing (http://www.flatlanderracing.com/index.html) this go around..... I've also bought from Doug Herbert in the past.
Nu-Tek seems to have as good a price as I've seen on the EndurX lifters at ~$425.
Prices just seem to juggle around though so it can be a hit-or-miss kinda thing.

Best of luck.

If you decide to go with the Isky's, let me know. My buddy Joe is a dealer for Isky.
