Recommended Lifters?
I am going to be doing a cam upgrade in the next month or 2 I have a lifter that is bleeding down on me right now. I have an 09 Ultra with just over 20K miles and it still is in warranty til next May but I figured since I am doing the cam upgrade I should just replace the lifters.
So, should I just replace with stock lifters or is there a much better lifter on the market that I should go with? Any recommendations that I can do some research on? Woods? Comp VThunder? etc...

Check into S&S Lifter Limiters. I put them in when I did cam swap(with stock HD lifters), supposed to keep lifters from bleeding down and increase power slightly. Indy recommended them, so far so good.

This same subject came up last week while doing my cams, and the guys were saying small block chevy lifters are the same as the HD lifters. I did some searching on this subject and it appears some have used them with no problems, and that they are the same lifters.
