Well, I think the lifter you want depends on what kind of application you are thinking of running. I know that a mild h/c setup would probably work best with either a LS7 or Caddy Race Lifters. I personally think these two are the best to go with, without spending some coin. What kind of application are planning on running?

I vote Comp oe. I've run them in a couple motors including my stroker i'm running now. Quite a few others use them with great success as well. jmo

From reading on here, you need shorter pr's as well with the ls7/new ls1 replacement lifter. Due to the cup sitting higher. Although I have no experience with them.

You should also consider Morel Lifters!
