Comp Cams recommendation evaluation

In 2005 Hod Rod magazine tested them and the conclusion was that you lost some top end power with them...

So you think that lifter is moving so fast at 6000 rpm that not one bit of oil is going to leak from it as it's load conditions also go up?
Forget it, keep using the lifters.

In that test, what was the horse power increase at the lower rpm?

Ok, even IF you do loose a little top end with the rhaodes lifters, the engine will make more overall power (be able to do more work). Also, how often is a daily driven street engine going to see 6000 rpm?

Let's see if you understand this concept: the ability of an engine to do work is based on the "area under the curve". By increasing horsepower at lower rpm, the torque/horsepower curves are higher at lower rpm. The cumulative additional horsepower under the curve is now higher at lower rpm and increases the engine's ability to do work.

The ability of an engine to do work is the directly related to how fast it can move your car.

Still waiting for your answers for how many times per second the valve cycles at 900 rpm idle versus 6000 rpm. If you can handle the math.....
