It aperies that with all the changes and the fact roller lifter are used on most 1986 or newer cars, are we really worried about allowing someone to use roller lifter if they so desire ? I am only stating the facts. I wonder how many racers would like to remove any of the above and slow their car down. (Disclaimer I am not a English Major)

EZ Money, The exact same argument was used for the roller rockers.
The $1000 ceramic bottom lifters in Stock Eliminator were not the problem at that time . I am only stating the facts, bro.

Anyone care to look into their crystal ball and tell us what next year's weak link will be, and how much to fix it ?
