Default Solid Roller Lifters

Hey my american friends I have a question since ive heard nothing but bad things about needle bearings. I see that Isky has some nice solid roller lifters (EZX Lifters) Anyone run these and what would be the other best option. I want to go Satin with this car. So I can show all my "American Hating Engineering" friends and let them know that the war is over but not with Muscle vs Euromeat and how are the Elite race Comp cams lifters?

If your motor will see a lot of street time and idling make sure you get pressure fed lifters with an oiling hole instead of just a groove in the body, and set a reasonable idle.

I have the new style Comp EndureX lifters in mine, by Llyod's recommendation. There are a lot of factors for lifter lifespan but i did my research first and people are getting many years of street miles out of them between servicing. These are on aggressive motors too, some with 800+ lbs of open pressure.

They are rated as a "Street/Marine" lifter by comp...and I don't know of many motors that get more abuse then marine builds.

Crowers here, no issues at all. They have the hippo oiling.

Thanks guys for all the recommendations. Ill elaborate. This motor will see lots of autobahn use. Like mentioned above a marine engine. Car runs like a champ in stock form. Its still not fast enough for our new AMG & M series cars. It handles way better since I upgraded the suspension and rides smoother, and no steering wheel vibration. The rear end whining seems to be getting louder
