Larry,

If Sammy won't confirm the facts I will.. Every solid lifter regardless of material is JUNK.

Let's put it this way. It has sent my 396/375 program nothing but backwards. It's not the money in parts that it cost when you have a failure, it's the TIME it takes for recovery....If you have a lifter/cam failure, even if you could pay the parts damage in cast,in full, upon diagnosis- it's the TIME LOSS and the grief factor alone that money can't buy, and I never saw the day that money could purchase time at any price!

Hey- it wasn't me that opened the door to the changes in the duration, spring pressure rule

My opinion is- follow the path of engine safety, ie; roller rockers, etc. No matter what we do, ,assuming the cam lift specs remain the same- which they will, it's still NO WHERE near the cost of running a competitive SS car so please; racers who think the opposite to be true-please stop telling the rest of us to go race SS.
