Default UD pulley and lifters for my cam swap?

Im planning a cam swap in a couple of weeks, custom Tick cam is on its way from Martin, Already have the pushrods, springs, ls6 oil pump, ls2 chain, gaskets, seals.

while its apart, I was wondering if I should buy a set of Ls7 lifters, and An underdrive pulley? or anything else you guys can think of? figured while its apart, might as well replace some things.

who is running an underdrive pulley with an auto? anyone using it with the alternator pulley?

If you get the lifters you might as get new trays with them. You'll need new head gaskets and bolts also. Might as well the rocker trunion upgrade while your at it lol.

i'd def replace the lifters and install some ls2 lifter trays. i ran a 10% ati with an auto and noticed no issues i think youd be fine with a 25% if you chose to go that route

if you do get lifters, i would suggest ARP bolt so when you decide to get heads later you can re-use the bolts again

There are threads talking about how LS7 lifters fail with aggressive cams. If the cam is aggressive go with Morels.
