Comp Cams Short-Travel LSX Hydraulic Roller Lifters, With Tie Bars
hey guys,, i came across a good deal on one of lifters set, part number Comp #15956-16, and i just want to get some feedback from those using them...i tried a search but didnt find much on them, most people are using morel,..now how's the quality on these lifters ,and how do they perform...what are the advantage of going this route other than being able to spin the motor at higher RPM's. thanks in advance for any input.

I'm running them as well as a handful of others. They're a relatively new concept (the short travel deal), but I think more and more people will start using them as time goes on. FWIW I did have one collapse on the dyno, but I installed a new pair and everything seems to be fine so far. See my build thread here:

EDIT: I remembered I'm actually running .040" preload. Due to thermal expansion of the motor, that translates to about .030" hot. Right in the middle of the range.
