Lifters, Sbc/Bbc Pro Magnum Hyd 1 St

from

$572.99
COMP Cams Pro Magnum Hydraulic Lifters are specifically designed to perform at higher engine speeds.

Pro Magnum Lifters eliminate improper positioning and harmful “pumping up.” COMP Cams Pro Magnum Hydraulic Lifters offer a significant power increase over standard high performance hydraulic lifters, especially in race applications where a hydraulic lifter must be used. An adjustable valve train is required to use Pro Magnum Hydraulic Lifters.

Product Features:
  • .842″ diameter; 99g weight; 1.93″ seat height
  • Specifically designed to perform at higher engine speeds with significant power increase over standard hydraulic lifters
  • Proper position of internal piston at higher rpm prevents lifters form harmful “pumping up”
  • Adjustable valve train required

Competition Cams – Sportsman Solid Roller Lifter Set with Bushing for Chevrolet Small Block (Part No.96892B-16)

Sportsman Solid Roller Lifter Set with Bushing for Chevrolet Small Block

from

$1886.00
Sportsman Lifters from COMP Cams are designed to be a premium and lighter weight upgrade over Endure-X Lifters and a value alternative to the Elite Race option. Sportsman Lifters are offered in two configurations: a standard/traditional needle bearing axle/wheel design or an optional bronze bushing axle/wheel setup. And for Chevrolets, there are also left or right offset pushrod seat options. Each design features two pressurized EDM oil feeds to the axle, along with an edge orifice feed to the wheel. This design delivers a more reliable oil feed than most other options on the market. Sportsman Lifters also feature a shallower oil band than competitors’ versions for increased strength and rigidity, while internal machining helps to reduce weight. The body design utilizes a skirted wheel that strengthens the lifter ears and also provides more contact area with the lifter bore for further lifter stability. In addition, staked axles eliminate clips and provide robust axle retention. This permanent axle retention feature increases the stiffness of the lifter ears and helps prevent the ears from spreading. Sportsman Lifters are built from 8620 premium steel for increased strength and wear resistance and feature a captured link bar design. They utilize a tapered and slotted link bar tower for reduced weight and improved aesthetics. The lifters also feature a tall body to enable use in both standard and .300″ tall lifter bores – the result is increased strength and less lifter bore wear.

In addition, staked axles eliminate clips and provide robust axle retention. This permanent axle retention feature increases the stiffness of the lifter ears and helps prevent the ears from spreading. Sportsman Lifters are built from 8620 premium steel for increased strength and wear resistance and feature a captured link bar design. They utilize a tapered and slotted link bar tower for reduced weight and improved aesthetics. The lifters also feature a tall body to enable use in both standard and .300″ tall lifter bores – the result is increased strength and less lifter bore wear.

Sportsman Solid Roller Lifter Pair with Bearing for Chevrolet Small Block

from

$224.99
Sportsman Lifters from COMP Cams are designed to be a premium and lighter weight upgrade over Endure-X Lifters and a value alternative to the Elite Race option. Sportsman Lifters are offered in two configurations: a standard/traditional needle bearing axle/wheel design or an optional bronze bushing axle/wheel setup. And for Chevrolets, there are also left or right offset pushrod seat options. Each design features two pressurized EDM oil feeds to the axle, along with an edge orifice feed to the wheel. This design delivers a more reliable oil feed than most other options on the market. Sportsman Lifters also feature a shallower oil band than competitors’ versions for increased strength and rigidity, while internal machining helps to reduce weight. The body design utilizes a skirted wheel that strengthens the lifter ears and also provides more contact area with the lifter bore for further lifter stability.
