Default Help! Need a new set of lifters in FL. fast

I have a lifter going bad about 25 miles after installing a torquer v2 and Patriot dual golds. I need a new set of ls7 lifters or similar ASAP. I know I can get them from Texas Speed and others, but they are so far from me in FL., it will take until the end of next week to get them. Any suggestions on someone in the southeast that might have these at a good price? Any help would be much appreciated!

Go to a dealership. If they don't have them in stock they can get them to you the next day.

I tried that too. My business shares a parking lot with a Cadillac dealership. They wanted like $52 each! Guess I should have posted that

Ask someone to use USPS priority mail flat rate box and it will cost $10 and take no more than 3 days. I shipped from Oregon to NJ in 2 days. If you cant get them local thats the best you can do for shipping 2nd day air. I have Morels in stock, sorry or I would help you out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll call Vinci in the morning. If that doesnt work out I may call you out there in OR! What do you get for the Morel's? I am using stock rockers for now, will they work. The Comp's say that they require an adjustable valvetrain. Thanks again for the suggestions, Chris

Summit Racing will overnight LS7 lifters easily; or 2 day, 3day....etc.. If Comp says you need adjustables, then they are saying that different length push rods with stock rockers won't work. So I'd go with adjustables & then check valve wipe pattern & push rod length with an adjustable push rod. Sound to me like there is more work required other than replacing the lifter that was damaged.
