    Running Cam FX lifters in customers motors. They are rebuildable, best lifter on the market today. Using them in blown alcohol motors.

    We use them in Mike Stawicki's pro mod. 65 runs last season and they stayed perfect. Nice pieces.

    I run an alcohol dragster here in australia,its a 471ci BAE block with NRE fatehads and a psi d we turn it to 10500 all the time, i use the cam fx 1" lifters they are great, i was using other brands before and they didnt last anywhere near as long, they hold there shape and dont spread at the bottom like other brands also they are rebuildable, we also are using his new rocker system aswell which is pretty neat.

    Sounds good , I'm waiting for a price on the Cam FX lifters, my set up is a 526 KB , with Dart/Total Flow twin plugs, 14-71 etc, 904" lifters 1.8"spacing, and i'm not planning on reving it that high (have you seen what it's in ?ha ha) probably 9000 max, but i want good parts in it that will last, due to customer cars etc i'll only do around 3 events a year ,just want to turn up and go fast in a commercial vehicle
    Thanks for your help !

    Chris from Cam FX PM'd me last week and i gave him a call earlier this week,
    Helpfull guy that has faith in his product, will probably order a set as they sound good, Just got to get some more $$s together as they cost more than Crane etc but sound as though they last a lot longer and are rebuildable,
    Chris also mentioned that they do their own rocker assys too

    We had cam fx lifters come apart on more than 1 instance. Went to Jesel and will never look back at chris's junk. I have to tell you i dont come on hear to bash people but he was not helpful in the least. He is very hard to get ahold of then gives you the dang run around, oh took forever to get are damn lifters to. Called jesel and had them in 2 days. The jesel is much better in ever aspect . We broke a few axle pins on the cam fx, had the bodies of the lifter crack. Had a few axle shafts that were cracked wear he installs the roll pin because there ir not enough material on the end on the axle pin jesels axle pin is radius thus leaving even material around the roll pin. much better enginerring and parts availabel then with chirs junk in my opinion. I can tell you I race with a lot of hemi alky guys and i may be the only one talking but others have had the same issues i have had.

    Cam Effects makes lifters for the Fontana, I think Miner sells them.

    Once , when they were out of them, they had me send the hemi .904 lifters out for them.

    Pro Mod 83, if you are going to call out a mans parts like that, at least sign your full name.
