Thanks to Jason Jenson for his Black Mamba Lifters User Experience
His Step Daddy dragster has been running Black Mamba lifters for several years.
'Every time we pull the engines down they look brand new'
'Amazing - the rollers don't even show banding, which is fairly typical'
'Check the lash 2-3 times per year and it never moves'
'The lifters have 350-400 runs on them during two seasons'
'I feel like they could run another 400 without issue'
