I installed a set in a 350 I built for a friend. They are paired up with a mild Summit cam, the engine is in a squarebody that he daily drives. They have about 4k miles and are still quiet. I would like to pull them and check the DLC coating this winter (I’m real curious). The springs are 110#...

I was cruising Comps site when they popped up, I was surprised at the price… they were less than Chevy lifters. Though I would give them a shot since I don’t have hardly any money in the engine.

$112 for 16

Exactly…couldn’t wait to take them off and hear it uncorked. I wiped a cam out on break-in a couple years ago so always use mufflers now so I can shut her down at the first “tick”.

Will do, I used some in a sbc that have about 4k miles on it….no issues so far.

Ha…it’s a harbor freight dolly! Works pretty good.

I tried a set of the Comp DLC hyd lifters on a 440 build I put together with some spare parts I had laying around. Comp DLC hyd lifters Lunati 703 Cam Cast crank ICON pistons Below are some videos… Break-in Idle

I’m running the Comp Evolution lifters on a Hughes cam, no issues so far. They are fairly quiet, not sure about the higher RPM…I haven’t been much past 6000.

I see Comp Cams have the DLC lifters in stock for our engines. Has anyone tried them yet? I used a set in a small block Chevy I built for a buddy last year, no issues after 2500 miles.

This is with fresh factory ride height HD rear springs and 15x8 wheel with 245/60.

I will see if I can get you some pics. The panel was a door kick plate that I bought from Amazon…it was already black crinkle finish, just cut it to size. The car belongs to my son and no issues so far. The GTX is mine.

Accel Ceramic with 135deg bends.

Not familiar with the Flow Techs but the Summits are real similar to the Hooker Competitions I have on my 67 Coronet.

I may be late to the party…but I have a set of Summit coated headers on my GTX. They fit without any bashing.

Thanks, I noticed it was a lot more than the standard “1/2 turn” you usually see.
