Comp R lifters??
What is the main difference between the Comp R lifters and stockers?? I heard that they're the same thing just not as suseptable(sp?) to collapsing. Any info you may have is appreciated.

Comp Rs aren't the only option for a high performance lifter- you can go with Morels ($450) if you want to upgrade from the stockers. Pricey, but they've been tested to all extremes and are extremely well made.

I was told to go between 1/8" to 1/4", more toward 1/4", on my preload. I did not measure it with an indicator but was told by Jason that this would be the key with the T&D Rockers. I guess I'll see this weekend.

I run a set and am making 738rwhp... but some shops say that you need to run more spring pressure to make them work.
I have been running a set of Crane doubles and am switching over to a set of Comp 977's to address what might be some valve float for me at 6500+. Prior to this new cam I was pulling to 7000 with no float at all and my valvetrain was not overly. I do think that running a cam with fast lobes mikght be noisy with Comp R's but I'm not sure. When I had a 422ci iron my comp s1 was noisier than my older lunati 242/242/114 cam.

I remember the only problem with the Comp R's was that you couldn't get the pre-load set properly with Yella Terra Rockers. You have to run adjustable rockers in order to get the pre-load right. But once the pre-load is set right you won't have any issues.
