Lifter and pushrod options
Getting ready to purchase a redshift 468 cam and was wondering if i should just go with the kit from fuelmoto or are there better options out there for the same money or less ?

Speaking to the pushrods, I took a look at the options out there, They are all quality pieces but the major players all work differently. Take a look at them and how they work, then decide. Cost should not be a factor, you're only going to spend the $ once.

I bought the 468 kit from Zipper's that included the S&S Quickee adjustable push rods and S&S lifters. I just ordered a 124" big bore kit so I'm going back to solid pushrods when I install the new kit.

What cam will you be using that will allow you to use the stock solid pushrods? Or do you plan on getting solid pushrods made that will work for the cams base circle?

Now i wonder whats the benefit in changing them to adjustable, once mines go in they are not coming back out.

I guess if you do a lot of motor work adjustable would save time, also it would be cheaper in labor if a shop used adjustable on a cam install

All of this cam stuff is just getting me more confused, think im doing to much reading into it . Now im hearing i need to also change out the oil pump and cam plate by one of my local shops and that thing is like $700. Im almost ready to just leave it the hell alone.

Dude, I have researched the **** it of the cam install thing. Watch the Fathead Cycles M8 cam install video.
The way I understand it is if your Bike is built after 10/10/17 then you have the latest and greatest pump and are good.
Mine is built on 10/17, so I am changing the Cam plate and pump
