west coast · 05-08-2014, 10:49 AM

Has any body used these and are they legal for stock the web site doesnt say what the travel is?

GTX JOHN · 05-08-2014, 02:42 PM

Have tried three sets. They were all over the board on travel.

Set One Pumped down while cranking engine and bent many pushrods

Set Two Pumped down about 1000 ft. and Killed 5 MPH each rum.

Set Three Have about .200 travel and something wrong with plunger so
did not try.

I showed them to Rep at trailer several Nationals and he was too busy to even
look at them and really not interested. He would not take them back with him
and said to send them back to Summit where i BOUGHT THEM.
I talked to teck on phone and he said I was wrong about lifters and the
problems did not exist.!

I am going to find another Cam Co. after many years of using their
stuff even if it costs me a couple on ET.

I am, back to Modifying my own lifters.

I'm certain that Tim Cole at Comp Cams would be very interested in your situation.

Does Tim Cole have a direct # or E Mail.

Alan Roehrich · 05-10-2014, 01:26 PM

All you have to do is call Comp and ask for Tim. They'll put you through, Tim will get back to you if you get his voice mail.

Jim, get the Allen Sherman lifters and be done.

I believe Crazy Ukrainian Denysenko has them in stock for your application.

I have been trying to get a hold of Alex left messages. Shermans is what I have in the motor in the car they have been great for me, plan on getting more. The guys at the machine shop ask me if I know of anybody running them. I didn't see any spec's on there web site.
