Off the top of my head, a couple pounds, maybe 5 tops. Not more than that though.

Sorry, not a lot of help but didn't know how fast you needed an answer. I know they weigh enough that it'd be on my short list of fun things to beat an intruder in my house with.

Edit: About what Ed said 5 pounds. Stock GM cam.

My Comp cam and lifter set weighed 8 lbs. The stock cam and the Comp I put in felt about the same. So assuming the cam weighs around 5 lbs the lifters should weigh in around 3.
