If you ever raced a car you'd give your left nut for these.

Damn, there goes my right nut.

Well, at least I won't have to spend the money on kids - racing parts - my gawd, that's orgasmic.

I'm getting the "regular" ceramic lifters next week for my motor

I was tempted to try the "roller-X", but I really don't see too much of an additional benifit with the cost involed.

oh yea...I've got a set of those rocker arms as well, got them at a killer deal...much cheaper than that price currently on eBay....

I want your bearings.

The supposed advantage of a roller lifter over a flat tappet style is the ability to follow an aggressive lobe profile. The acceleration and deacceleration ramps can be much steeper (benefiting flow by opening the valve quicker) and the nose of the cam can be more "round" (holding the valve open longer) with the roller type without breaking the lifter.

Expensive, but utlimately cool.

Ok, I shot my $0.75 worth

I want a street car with only 3rd gear, and a super choppy cam, with CIS.

It's a 'custom'.

Note that you will have to get oil to the Pauter rockers, as they are not self-oiling. Not so great for a street car.

Not sure about those roller lifters. Very interesting. I wonder how they get their oil supply?
