Default Ordering Lifters...Crane or Comp??

I have a bad lifter, and am ordering a new set. Looking at the Comp Rs or the Crane lifters. Price is roughly the same. Which are better, or does it matter?

Yeah, I know. I gotta start buying all the crap to do this. Yella Terras also, and I'm thinking the MTI X1 cam looks pretty nice. You know, as long as it's all apart.

X-1 would be a nice cam! I only see one problem. Reverse split is not the best for n20. Traditinal split is however. So about the same specs just flip floped would be better IF you do want to go FI. If not it's all in what you want....

I have the Comp Rs and they work great. You will have to redo the valvetrain as they require less preload than the stock lifters. Either shims the rockers or get adjustables.
