Default which solid lifters? push rods?

combo is LS3 416, TFS TEA 245s, Crower shaft mounts. I was thinking link bars due to cam change possibilities. Car is not street driven. type of pushrods?
going to use 3/8" but do these need be oil restricted?

To my knowledge most full roller rockers have the feed holes small enough to act as minor restrictions. I doubt you would also need pushrods that restrict unless the rocker literature has info that suggests this.
Speedtigger is using a Cam Motion tight lash roller cam that has a solid lifter that rides in the plastic trays. I'm unsure of the longevity of such a set-up although I will say that the link bar style is heavier and should have a tad more spring pressure as well to keep the parts in check.

forgot to mention, the springs are Isky 9385. What are you calling a tad more spring pressure? TEA has mine at 250psi on the seat. so, sounds like I'll be getting standard PR then.

Never use oil restricted push rods.

03EBZ06, we have very similar builds and I would suggest that you use the largest pushrod that you can fit, NO RESTRICTOR. I have a little less seat pressure and almost 700 open and I'm using a 7/16" double taper to 3/8" .135 wall thickness and a 210* radius tip. There are not too many solid roller lifters that use the stock plastic trays. I'm using Jesel lefters with the stock trays. I think that I would probably Isky EZ-Roll, Morel Ultra Pros or Comp Cams Elite lifters for your application. If this is street driven you must make sure that you have pressurized oiling to the axle. I would recommend it anyway.

Was that the 5452? Was talking to BTR today, they suggested these also. Looking like a reasonable price too.

I receive the heads on Thu, so got to inspect the PR hole to see if they are capable for a PR that diameter. I def like the idea of a double tapered 7/16.

You don't need a short travel lifter. You need a solid roller lifter. A short travel lifter bridges the gap between the two. Here are some nice examples.

Economy - http://www.briantooleyracing.com/mor...r-lifters.html

Ideal, I know they make a .842 size - http://www.briantooleyracing.com/mor...r-lifters.html

lmao. this is going to be a SOLID cam not a wanna be solid cam setup.

Looks like the Isky or 5452s. Engine builder wants Isky, thats prob what I'll use. Thanks for the help.

Isky makes nice stuff.....their roller lifters are top notch
I primarily run either Isky or Lunati(Harold Brookshire) grinds in stock car engines.
LOVE the way your car launches !!!!
