Who makes "R" Series Hydraulic Roller lifters?

I'm in the process of converting a 2pc 4-bolt Mr.Goodwrench block from hydraulic flat tappet cam to accept hydraulic roller cam. I would like to use the best parts available so I want to know what are the best aftermarket "retrofit" roller lifters?

Speed Pro, Comp Cam, Crane Cam, Lunati all these companies make them but I remember someone posting that "R" series roller lifters are the best, I think it was TRAXION.

The rest of my valvetrain is going to consist of Pro-Magnum 1.6 Roller rockers, titanium retainers, AFR hydra-rev kit for aftermarket lifters pre 87 SBC blocks, and AFR 195cc Heads.

Let me know what valvetrain you guys are using for a 400-500 h.p daily driver.

I believe Comp Cams makes the "R" series. I also remember that they are somewhat difficult to find "in stock".

So what kind of person registers on here today and his first post is offering to sell something ? And giving out a hotmail.com address for a contact ? Not too much credibility radiates from that...

oddessy-

I can understand the delema. i am well know in the turbobuick community and sell these lifters there. a friend with a 91 firebird told me about this site. i was going to e-mail this gentelman direct but i had to register to do so.

Fell free to e-mail me for refrences.

I have a hotmail account because my boss reads the boards and would not let me sell these.
