Caddy Racing Lifters?
How many members have had problems with the Cadillac Racing Lifters that they have installed recently?
I have heard of one case.
Thx,
SLPRC5

I haven't read any issues on LS1Tech. What have you heard? I've been considering the Cadillac Racing Lifters as eventual replacements in my 383 stroker since I often see high RPMs while road racing (HPDE/TT).

I've only heard good things about these lifters. I was talking to a vendor that uses them in his car and they thought it was set up wrong or the preload was wrong. I forgot the exact wording so please excuse me. I have these and only now I'm waiting for my heads.

I got mine from SDPC order now because I had to wait over 2 months on back order for them. They sell out fast..
I believe I paid $217.00 for the set and I also got new lifter trays.

What are the advantages to these lifters? Are they better with stiff valve springs? Do they have better high RPM valve control? I know they are quieter than other designs, but everything else I've heard just seems like rumors...
I'm considering a solid roller cam, but if a hydraulic lifter can offer similar high RPM valve control I'll stay hydraulic and save the potential solid roller headaches.
