Why is everybody trying to reinvent the wheel? Do the Smith lifters work? Yes they do and for the price of a new engine it's cheap insurance.

Do Smith lifters work? yes they do, and they also fail occasionally and when they do
it costs you a new engine. The ceramic puck is like grinding compound when they
fail and break apart. It may not even be the lifters fault, you could break a rocker and
start the process, all i know is it costs a lot when it happens.

This is just an exercise in futility............

I see on another post from Greg Hill that he has the inside scoop from Comp Cams that roller rockers will be legal next year...........

If that happens how far behind are roller lifters?????????????

The next step will be to remove the Stock Eliminator section from the NHRA Rule Book

Let me recap the events that killed Stock Eliminator.....

Removal of the OEM spring pressure & size rule

Removal of the cam duration rule & cams designed with lift rates to take advantage of the above change

Lifters designed to take advantage of the above

Roller rockers to take advantage of the above rule

How can roller lifters not be the next rule to take advantage of the above rule changes???

The last Stock rule change will be an additional S to make it SS
