One testimonial claimed a 5 hp increase. Well let me blow an extra $600 on lifters for 5 hp, I sure wouldn't want to spend that money getting my heads ported for a worthwhile increase.
Your opinion. I'd like to actually SEE that testimonial. Else, why would Ti valves and retainers be desired, only saving an ounce or so there?

My question would be: what is the expected longevity of these composite lifters? 10,000 miles? 50,000 miles? 100,000 miles? Any actual testing on that parameter?
