What lifters you guys using?

Sup guys almost got my engine together built for FI. I was wondering what lifters you guys are mostly running I know the cam I choose has a big deciding factor but I dint know if boosted engine also does?

I was originally going with ls7, but now looking into btr lifters...let me hear what you guys got.

Anybody know the best place to put the iat sensor on a ls6 intake?

Thanks,

I've got btr lifters. If your speed density I would put the iat after the inter cooler out of the engine bay.

you will find TONS of people running ls7's. doesnt mean you should, but they are working pretty well for folks considering the price. Anything from BTR is also something you can count on. If you want to spend more money feel free. all depends on the final or future goals.

Agreed they are an upgrade over the LS7s just everyone uses them because of the price. Also they are very quiet when set up correctly. Just need to get the right pushrod length.

How much preload are you running on yours? I've tried .100, .075, and .025. I settled with .075.
