Default Re: lightweight lifters? Never heard of such an animal for the 12v......

However that doesn't mean they don't exist?

Simply, the 12V is not really "known" in Tuner circles, where exotic parts are everywhere. ;O)

I don't think you can get much "lighter" than OEM, without sacrificing strength?

If they exist, possibly Schrick may list them in their catalog?

Or Eurospec Sport?

Default Great, Thanks. I heard some of the Audi/VW enignes share the same lifters...

I thought I'd get lucky and the 12v may share them with a more popular "tuner" engine. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with OEM. Thanks. ;-)

I've heard some stories of people sinking ALOT of money in a 12V to actually go down in HP.
