Re: Lifter rule in Stock
If all cars can have roller lifters then what are the penalties for HP all non roller lifter cars get HP, lets say 40 hp. What are the rollers lifters and cams worth, don't tell me they there are no gains there. I few people cry about there ceramic lifters coming apart now they want roller lifters for free. Nobody forced you to put ceramic lifters in, the rules don't state you have to use ceramic lifters.

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
My Bad. Solids ok. Rollers no. Sorry for the mistake. Just as a footnote to history; the first time Cliff Sherman (father to famous J. Allen) shimmed a lifter with a transmission spring was just about the time Chris landed on the sunny beaches of Santo Domingo. Footnote to footnote: That is Christopher Columbus when he landed in Santo Domingo in 1492.

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
NHRA needs a Q and A section on their site to allow questions to be asked related to any rules changes/revisions.
That way everyone gets to see what Tech's response is

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
So to review. This revision it to allow aftermarket style solid lifters, for a solid lifter combo only? Or is this to allow solid flat tappet lifters in place of a hyd flat tappet lifter combo? I read the revision and everyone's comments but just want clarification.

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
I just emailed NHRA Tech to get clarification on the new language. This is the response:
"The intent was/is to allow the use of a solid lifter in place of a hydraulic, you may not replace a flat tappet with a roller. Thanks Joey Gorman NHRA Assistant Regional Technical Director Office-(317)-969-8609" ...and there you have it.

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
I'm going to keep my hyd. lifters, solids would be a lot noisier and then I would have to keep them adjusted, and that might..............would cut into my adult beverage time.

Re: Lifter rule in Stock
Ok, I'm a little slow sometimes, I was about to buy some good hyd lifters, can I instead buy solids now? Or just wait till all those hyd lifters hit the for sale page?
