stock roller lifters are good till?
I pulled my lifters today to find out that they are in perfect condition. I was curious if they are in great condition, should i just use those and return the set i have? My motor build is pretty big. Im shooting around the 400hp n/a range and a 150+ shot of spray.
My compression ration is going to be 10.75:1
I need suggestions as quickly as possible. Thanks guys

Everyone will tell you that you can re-use roller lifters with a new cam.
If it were me building a 400 HP N/A 383, and then adding NOS to that, well... if the old lifters have much time on them, I'd install new ones.

I would go with the better safe than sorry route myself, but that is just me.
I did want to ask though, are you running this car on pump gas?

Ya I already spent the money on them. Might as well sell the old ones. lol
I will be using 93 octane. I have aluminum heads and I will be fine as I have been told.
