I agree...all the big companies make excellent lifters....Crane, Lunati, Comp Cams....alot of guys (including mysefl) are running the CC's "R" lifters.
nothing aluminum,after much research and discussion,i would give the comp pro-mags the nod.

I don't have any experience with solid rollers, but I imagine all the cam manufacturers would have something suitable. Comp has the "Super Roller" series, for example.
No experience myself, but I spend alot of time at www.chevelles.com and there are alot of very experienced people there. Most of the solid roller lifters out there do not lube the roller axle, just spray oil on the roller itself. From what i've read the Isky Red Zone's do lube the axle and last alot longer then other brand lifters. Several machinists there only recommend them. If you do a search on their performance board you'll get alot of info.
Comp's Endure-X lifters also supply pressurized oil to the roller, and I'm sure Crane has something similar. They're intended to keep the roller lubricated during low-RPM operation on the street, though.
there is an axel-less roller lifter available. It used pressurized oil to form a hydraulic (just like a bearing) wedge between the roller and the body. One less point of failure and NO needle bearings to grind up your engine.
Those bearing less rollers are the Roller X lifters and from what I've read are the only things you would want if it see's extended high rpm blasts over a long period of time.
