Give BTR racing a call in here Brian has a sale going on plus you will have to use a tray also. If you not at this time also do the rocker arm upgrade also. Robert

so when you do a DOD delete, you have options.
basic kits only replace 8 lifters and 4 trays. not all 16 lifters.

Perhaps, and I stress perhaps, he wants to reinstall the DoD lifters to convert it back?

There are no-drill options available. I have the VR DoD plug kit. Lingenfelter has one too.

You miss read my post.. If you used Rivits, or hammer in plugs.... then you wil lhave to drill those out to open the passage way back up. (if he was re installing DOD)
