I believe it's called stock eliminator for a reason

Every time the subject of roller lifters for stock, someone suggest running Superstock ,It appears that there were a number of gentleman that wanted these changes over the past 30 years, Aftermarket Heads, Intake, Pistons ,Push Rods, Valves, Camshaft, Valve Springs, Retainers, Connecting Rods, Piston Rings, Crank Shaft, Engine Block, Oil Pan, Lifters, Roller Rockers, etc., Aftermarket parts have helped every body in stock eliminator achieve performance gains as well as durability along with a alternative to in some cases 50 year old OEM parts . Who will be the first to go back to the OEM parts and get run over (Flattened) or worse have their engine explode !

Allen, Trend , SBC last spring, $20 some odd dollars a piece ..Not coated.

So they need to be coated then ,too? ...Further making my point.

From the comments, glad running Pure Stock...!

Lot of racers having a tough time with 8000rpm flat tappet hydraulic lifters.

What about a limit on Valve Spring Pressure.
Saying that!
What would make common sense?
or
Should racers be doing that anyway?

OK, roller rockers, any spring, almost any cam, any valve job, any anything, but lets keep them old lifters and let everyone buy 1200 bucks tool steel lifters instead of a hydraulic roller conversion for about a quarter. I already got mine. I want everyone to share in the treasure.

There hasn't been too much "stock" about Stock Eliminator for quite a while now. Jus sayin'...

Limiting valve spring pressure makes way too much sense and is way too simple. Let's gouge on everybody some more.

Dwight's right. I made my LT-1 stocker in to a super stocker two years ago, sure the initial investment was a bit, but only about two or three thousand dollars more than my last stocker engine. I just freshened it and it was cheaper than freshening the stocker engine.
