Caddy Racing Lifters

Ive done some research not yeilding too much information but what are the main differences in the caddy racing lifters compared to the LS7's to justify a double in price?

They are built to handle sustained high rpms....they were developed for a factory backed Cadillac racing series....iirc they are good to 8k rpm

i had a set and everybody advised me not to run them on account of them comming apart. i opted for a set of ls7 lifters instead.

They were developed for race application with Titanium Valves and specific valve train...will never work on heavy valves.
