Are there that many failures using a standard solid lifter in a stocker motor? The NASCAR guys used standard solid lifters for decades. I know the ramps are more aggressive in Stock these days, but a tool steel lifter for a .312" lobe? Are people turning stocker engines to 10K?

Well... one point is NASCAR was running a solid MUSHROOM tappit, as far as I know, those aren't allowed in stock...

Also NASCAR engines use larger diameter cams and last I heard was running an enclosed pressurized cam tunnel to make their stuff live...

That was years ago, are they still even using solids?

Any way... comparing apples to grapes.
Not much NASCAR does even compares to stock eliminator really.
