Do you have any links to the bad things you have heard about the lifters?
You are going to need more than just a regular cast bodied lifter for that setup honestly. I would use the Morel 5206 lifter or the Johnson Lifter of the same style which is the 2116. Alot of people will recommend the short travel which would help but not 100% necessary. The 15956-16 from comp (which may be a morel) seem to have the best price point for those. You can also go to the Morel Solid roller lifter if you wish, they will save you some money but youll want to make sure to set them up with the proper cold and hot lash. Your spring pressure will be another factor to look at. With that setup you will definitely want to make sure they are setup to .050 before coil bind to get the most out of them like most of the professionals recommend.

just a few threads on here. people having the linkbars come out, or the lifter collapsing. i dont want to waste a good motor to save 300 on lifters
guess i need to call you guys and talk to someone. ive always set my ls7s up at about .90 preload. everything ive read says to set the new ones up differently.

I would suggest you run the Johnson lifter that WS6 store recommended. We sell Comp, Morel, and Johnson lifters and I like the feedback on the Johnson the best. If you decided to get a set we can help you with that, as well as give you the preload as provided by the manufacturer. Each lifter will be a little different.
Thanks
Thanks
