I am installing a Whiplash cam im my Challenger and was wondering if I can use lifters ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-HT2011/Application/?prefilter=0 )I have that I bought from Summit? The lifters are new and are $2.50 a piece cheaper then Hughes is selling them for. Is there a difference int them?

I expect hydraulic lifters are pretty much interchangable for the same application. Look at the specs of each and go from there.

as long as they spec out the same use them.

The lifters will physically interchange. The only caveat I would offer is that there has been quite a bit of trouble with import lifters coming apart and/or being soft. The lifters we sell are made by HyLift Johnson in Michigan. We do not import any lifters. No matter where you buy them, I would suggest being sure they are not coming from Mexico or China etc.....
Thanks, Kevin

Hey Kevin ... just curious .. if you have a known-quality USED lifter that has a nice crown - can these lifters be used on a new cam?

If you really, really check them close, I know guys re-use them. As a cam supplier... I have to suggest that you always use new lifters.
