  • john if you could answer this for me i would be gratefull!! barring the rokers/springs/valves.. those lifters look very heavy.. im presuming not good for revs and maybe why on some of the simtested morors you show have upgraded rocker arm's??.. basically what im saying is at high revs wouldnt those lifters be prosucing/storing a lot of unessacary energy/inetia wich is a bad thing in a valvetrain.. aprreciate it if you find time to answer!!

  • @nickernosher - I have runs stock rockers, stock springs (Z28) stock valves, and stock lifter at 7500 rpm, how much more do you want to go? This isn't a 4-valve engine that will spin 12k rpm. You are correct, all of these things weigh a ton, but with roller lifters (which are heavier than hydraulic lifters) these engine will spin over 9k rpm. You do eat hp when you install higher compliance springs. Application, application, application....
