Where can I read/learn why I should want the EDM lifters versus standard ????

I'll probably order at least 1 cam + lifters..........

Thanks,

Direct oil supply to the cam/lifter mating surfaces helps ensure the cam and lifters survive. You can read a little more here on my website if you're so inclined...about 1/2 way down the page.

Rob:

I just got my L72 Original Paint Corvette back together with the help of your camshaft. It runs like a bear and I'm still breaking in the motor and working through dialing in the carburetor. Thanks for all of your help, Ed

The cam has good idle quality and pulls like a $#@@%$! It really lights up after 4,500 RPM!
