I pulled the Caddy Racing lifters after a couple got noisy. LS7 lifter with that cam will be fine. Just make sure your geometry is perfect.

Which ones?

Most common are the Morel 5206s ($580) and 5290s ($380). Prices are approximate.

Comp says they are a step up from OE lifters as they have a more performance orianted piston. They have a very forgiving pre-load range compared to others and are reasonably priced. Can be used for non-adjustable valvetrain.

Their 875-16 "Type R" is supposed to be for race setups for adjustable valvetrain.

The Ls7 lifters are an OE lifter, same as the LS2 except a different cup location.
