Why Install This?

Things to Know

  • Professional installation recommended — requires specialty tools or expertise

What Does This Do?

The factory HEMI has MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifters that can collapse to deactivate 4 cylinders during light driving. These MDS lifters are completely incompatible with aftermarket camshafts — the cam profiles will cause the MDS mechanism to malfunction, leading to lifter failure, collapsed lifters, and engine damage. Non-MDS lifters are solid hydraulic rollers that follow the cam lobe faithfully without any deactivation mechanism. If your Challenger has an automatic transmission, it has MDS and you MUST replace all 16 lifters when installing an aftermarket cam. Manual transmission models already have non-MDS lifters.

Fitment Notes

Fits 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI with MDS. Manual trans Challengers do NOT have MDS — not needed.

Technical Details
