Default Cadillac and LS7 lifters...weight

Can somebody get the weight of the cadillac lifters and LS7 lifters compared to stock? Just trying to get an idea of which to order to keep my valvetrain in check.

I don't know the answer, but I will tell you that lifter weight is unimportant.

If you want to help high rpm valvetrain stability via weight, do it on the valve side. The pushrod side should be focused on rigidity regardless of weight. (within reason)

Thanks for your response. I feel that both of these lifters are up to the task but would like the lighter of the two. I am going to use a Smith bro's 3/8" pushrod fyi.
