The factory rocker arms with the higher spring pressures I understand, but the lifters I don't.
A very good friend of mine was running a custom (BBC) high lift mechanical/solid cam from Crower and never had any issues with his$100 set of lifters breaking. He would easily get 400 passes on them shifting in the mid 7k range.

That's why anybody can build a fast bracket racing type engine.
Likewise, my 3160+ weight stocker with .457" maximum lift cam and a little 600 CFM Autolite carb can beat most Dominator equipped .700" lift engines which weigh 300 #'s less. Of course that's part of the fun...
