NZ: You are missing the point behind solid lifters set-up, i think you recall this valuable thread Solid Lifters .

I know LR lunched a whole bunch of lifters when trying radical cams where no one else seemed to... The comment was about the head AND lifter setup. As in, them working as a "team" of components, you are missing the point that higher rpm equals more power, solid lifters are designed to enable higher rpm. So there is an OBVIOUS relationship between these.

NZ: You also missed that the camshaft plays the key role. You are right, obviously there is a relation between all three components (cylinder head, camshaft profile and lifters). Thing is, each of these components alone achieve different results, since the cylinder head comes in different configurations (in terms of springs, retainters, valves and so on) and the various cam profiles, so it is very difficult to give out a HP/TQ number.

Well, it has been a couple of hours, I know I should really be quicker than that, I feel ashamed I have not changed it sooner, I must learn to leave this thread open 24/7 so I can change the list as soon as possible so there isnt an outrage.

Its very easy to test them, what you do is, do a dyno run before you change them, then do a dyno run after, then measure the difference. Then you can give approximate numbers on the change, kinda exactly what Special Tool has done with his head which he bought off Vitesse Racing.

the infamous 27/6 run:
just don't actually post it
Oh and btw I think special tool should be in second,
46 more lb ft of tq is worth a hell of a lot more than 3 hp.
btw, which dyno reads low? mustang or dynojet?
