    TSP Lifters? I had a TSP kit installed in my Ram stage 1, and it’s noisy up top. Any thoughts?

    Had a kit for stage 1 to install in my 2011 RAM by a shop out of Dallas called HPP racing. They didn’t use the mopar lifters, just the ones the came in the kit. I asked Rick at tapped performance look at it and make sure it’s in good runner order and if so to get me a tune because HPP did a bad...

    GM DFM and AFM lifter failure - class action lawsuit

    This needs to hapen ASAP to RAM and the other Stelantis brands that use HEMI engines in their vehicles so that this endless debate over what causes lifter failure and what kind of lube to use to mitigate it ends. It's a manufacturer issue on the supplier side and possibly incorect assembly of...

    Cam Failure Poll

    Tons of speculation out there, this is just an attempt to get some numbers. Please only vote yes if your 5.7 suffered confirmed cam failure not just some other ticking sound. Let's make some data happen!

    Which Cam and Lifters Did You put in Your 5.7?

    I need to do a top-end rebuild soon and I would like to get your feedback on what cam/lifters you chose to rebuild the top-end of your 5.7L? Please list; 1. What you used? (i.e. Comp Cam *** with OEM Delphi lifters) 2. Did you keep MDS? why or why not? 3. Where you bought it? 4. Why you chose it?
