for a LQ4 iron block that will see close to 450rwhp N/A and 550-600rwhp supercharged (maybe more) can i use LS7 lifters and a M295 melling oil pump or should i upgrade to better lifters and a better oil pump? car will be seeing much more street driving than the track ever.

What cam are you using.

If its considered aggressive and it shouldn't be because your doing FI then do not do the LS7. Better yet to have piece of mind splurge and do some morels. Oil pump is personal choice I am using an M296 and I am very happy with the product and I never have to worry about low oil pressure or anything of the sort, but anything Melling offers is a good choice. Again I am still working on a sprayed LS1 (just go the giggle juice). Also if you want I have a place that sells new stock LS1/LS6 lifters which I am also running for $100.

Hope the advice is sound if not some one will come in and rip it apart

What heads are you running?

looking at a 224/236 cam and the heads are stage 2 243 heads. i have the LS7 lifters and oil pump with only about 300 miles on em so they were never broken in all the way, for N/A i'm sure these both would be fine but for puttin the blower on with well over 100 more hp and tq i'm worried about the strain it'll put on the engine ya know? i'll ask my engine builder monday but i'd still like to get opinions here
