Default Suggestions ??

My aftermarket lifters fail on me after 17,000 miles . not going to name the co. because i still hold them in high regards , and maybe i got a defunk part from em .Since i bought these lifters from them over 3 yrs ago i doubt they will credit me anything anyways .

So to my point i am runnin h/c setup are the ls7 lifters an option or are there better aftermarket out there ? im lookin for longevity here, some people like to pull their heads off every 20 k and if thats what makes them happy more power to them ,but i got better things to with my time

Any suggestions would be appreciated , even a good story would be cool

cam is jsut under .600 lift hardend PR's

Well a lot of people have good luck with LS7 lifters. The premium lifter are Morel - but they can be hard to get sometimes!

Morel's will run you about $500. They are a high end lifter.
How high of RPM's you looking for?

I've got one set of the link Morels left in stock right now. They are $565 to your door, I had 5 sets and now am down to 1 but have more on order. They go quick, it's a superior lifter to the LS7.

^^ I agree. Although I bought the tray style Morels I had them on order since October and just got them! If they weren't coming I would have bought them from Chris (99blancoSS)!

I'm glad you stuck with Thunder though, they are goods guys and I frequented them a lot before opening my shop as well
