I asked this question,
to the Tech people at Comp Cams when I rebuilt my engine.
They said there was nothing wrong with the stock lifters and there was no need to change if they were in good condition and had modest mileage on the stock cam.

Comp #850-16 is a GM replacement type
Lunati's are Morels...
Both are proven good and will work just fine for a modest build, the price difference will be large between them though.

my stock lifters have 80k miles on them and 10k with my .646 lift cam. probably due for new ones. had to get new rockers because the stock one were torn apart by the cam.

There is nothing special about LS7 lifters, don't get caught up in the naming of a
GM part. The are in all of the other LS based engines, car and truck alike and they are backwards compatible to the LS1, LS2, LS3, LS4, LS6, LQ4, LQ9, etc. Everything except the DOD engines. Don't believe everything you here online.
Caddy lifters are Race lifters, not sure about daily driver usage. They make them litter so something has to be sacrificed for performance. For a drive the "LS7" ones are the best choice.

People want to (on the forum) be able to talk about whatever they have done or put in their engine, and "LS7" anything makes them feel good about their decision, although it truthfully is no different than saying "LS1" lifters.
