G5X3 that need some lifters(ive read and search) Well my c5z need some lifters.They are discharging and i will replace them with some new ls2 lifter tray.
-I got a g5x3(something like 234/242 with .600/.610 lift).
-Im running PRC .675 dual valve springs
What would be a good recommandation,this cam is over .600lift and of course like high rpm???
*Caddy lifter: read a lot of bad thing about them and i think that they dont like dual valve springs and high lift cam(over .600)
*LS7(oem replacement): read a lot of good thing about them but will they hold up the high lift/stiff springs ?
*Morel:I dont like the fact that those are link together so i would need to take the heads off again if i want to change for another cam...But if it is the only way wich one would i need?Do they make some that goes in the trays without link bar???How good are they???
Thanks a lot

Just used LS7's with my .600"+ cam and they are fine. Everything I had read previously said that the LS7's need .80"-.100" pre-load, but mine ran like crap and was much better with .60"-.75". The "sewing machine" noise went away also and it sounded like the stock cam even with the headers.
Good luck!
