I like the Morel htl for hi rpms. Others will say the Caddy lifters. How much do you want to spend is the question?

GM Performance Cadillac racing lifters. That's what they were designed for. The LS7 lifters are basically stock replacements that have been updgraded. They'll probably still work, but if I was turning that high of rpm, I'd spend the money on the Caddy's......
