I am about to start ordering the parts for my engine. I have decided on the CC-305 cam (220 / 230, .510 / .510 114 LSA)
I was wondering If I could still use OEM replacment lifters. I do not see the reason to spend $300 on aftermarket style lifters when I can get stock replacment ones for 100-150.

I plan on reving to around 6300 will there be a problem with this?
also are there any brands/manufacters that are better than the others (i.e. Eaton, fedral mougle, GM performance part, Comp cams)
Thanks for your help

You shouldn't have any problem reusing your factory roller lifters. If you're worried about high revs, get a rev kit rather than new lifters.

 

I'll second that. Flat tappets may make a larger difference due to material grade and hardness, and surface finish tolerances, but rollers are pretty forgiving. If the stock rollers are in like-new condition (or new) there should be no problem, even though Comp says you need to use theirs for warrany. If you do happen to be one of the extremely rare ones to have a warranty claim, I'd think a receipt for new stock lifters should be adequate. But then again, I'm not Comp...

 

Thanks for your guys help.
Now does anyone know where I can buy stock Lifters? Mine seem pretty worn so I want to just replace it. I can order some EATON OEM replacment roller lifters for 99. Should I go with these?
So the stock design can handle the specs of that cam?
Thanks, you guys are great.
