what lifters do you reccommend? i was lookin at the lunati but idk which ones? any help?

 

I'm not sure if the Lunati ones your looking at will work in an LTX block. Most local guys around here run Comp Endurex, Crane, Isky, and Crower.

thats wat i was wondering whether they worked in the ltx cars or not

 

Morel's are pretty good, CC Endurex, Isky's aren't too shabby either.

 

Crower extreme duty offset lifters here.....

 

Strip or street/strip, can make a difference, going to spend more if you want themto live on the street.

Why would the Lunatis not fit the LT1 block???

 

its street/strip

 

same going in mine

 

u have a part number?

 

^What kind of heads are you going to be running that you will need offset lifters?

 

im goin wit a set of 200cc AI heads and we wanna switch over to solid roller because i was told that ppl dont run over 450hp on a HR set up and it might not make more then that N/A but on the spray it will and we feel HR will just leave a weak link in the motor and we dont want any weak links

 

You don't want offset lifters for those heads. Talk to the guys and AI and see what they recommend. You should get this kind of advice from the pros, not a bunch of random people on the internet that may or may not know what they are talking about.

 

i will do just figured there'd be a few that knew

 

Yeah you could run standard extreme duty crower lifters for your setup. You don't need offset lifters like I have... I run offset's so that later I have the ability to cut my heads and reweld the intake ports to make them bigger if I choose to.... For now my intake ports are standard AFR 227's..... We went offset so I don't have to re-do shiet later if I decided to completely rework my heads....

but 95% of ppl don't need offset lifters..... the crower extreme duty lifters and the **** tho...

 

In your case don't the offset lifters line up with the offset shaft rockers? I thought the AFR 227's required a slight offset shaft rocker to get them to work on the street?

 

i didnt realize the whole offset thing when i asked for a part number ill ask AI still. but ive been lookin into the crower. now do you guys think im goin the right direction switching to solid roller?

 

not 100% sure... my shaft rockers aren't slight offset. the intakes are VERY offset... the lifter and the pocket where the pushrod meets the lifter is all the way on the side of the lifter body itself.... moved my intake pushrods over like about an 1/8" at least...

 

I have Jesels for my LS1 engine I'm building. They are the nicest lifter I've ever seen and super light at roughly 84 grams a piece.

 

I run the new style Comp Endurex. 6000 street miles and God knows how many passes.

If you are gonna streetdrive it, make sure you have 30 psi of oil pressure hot at idle.

Run a GOOD oil, I run SHell Rotella, yeh I know its slowing me down a little. But I have had no cam issues.

 

ive ran royal purple since i bought the car and didnt plan to change
