Stock lifters can handle 7300rpms, what they cant handle is the greatly increased pressure from running the springs required for said cam. I have been running mine to those rpms, with stock bottom (TSP 231/237 & PP 5.3L) and no issues with lifter failure. Dont recommend it at all, but for my own use its working, and of course it wont hold forever, but thats another story.
Since I am not a cam spec guru, the specs dont bother me as much as the performance. $.02

Specs or no specs its not like there is a special number that is gonna make more power than another cam. There are so many cams to choose from that are small to so big they wont even work in most engines and evrything in between. I think its funny all the names of the cams. Why doesnt someone just come out with a God stick and let that be the end of it.
