Default What lifter are you guys running in you LT1?
Just wondering what guys are running for lifters in their cars? Please note if your running a mechanical roller or a hydrolic roller. Thanks

OEM style HR COMPs here, switching to GMPP LS7 lifters on the next build.

I had one of the COMPs grenade on my last build, not going to risk it on the next much more expensive setup.

Stock lifters here with CC503, Comp 1.6 ProMags, and Crane 10308 duals. When the time comes for new lifters, I will get LS7 lifters.

stock
but would not hesitate to use LS7s or "caddilac racing" either.

I am sure Morels are great, but with the rpm limitations of the pcm I think the GMPP are all you will ever need and less than half the price.

Are your heads milled? Whats the length of your pushrods?

Stockers here too, hoping they are still in good shape or will have to replace them with LS7s. Will find out in a weeks time.
