Get the LS7s lifters. And its best to get you PR leanth measured. I unfortunatally got a H/C set up 3.5 yrs ago and went with new lifters. At time didnt know I had gotten the LS7- short version at full pump up my valves were open on the combustion cycle and hard backfiring. Lucky for me I had aftermarket pistons so no contact

People seem to be having problems with the Caddy lifters and they are about $100 more the LS7s. So you know my vote. I like the V3 cam. It pulls awesome. Its got a pretty stout intake lift so I would measure PTV.

I have them in several engines and have no issue what so ever.
They may have had issues when they first came out but nothing that i know of in the past year.

You are 100% correct. Stock LS1 lifters can be spun to 7500 rpms with no issues. People are out to make money and there is your reason why they come up with the "newest latest and greatest" lifters.

Another point you have to see what application people are using these lifters for. Just because a lifter is rated to 8K to 8.5K rpm does not mean they are made to see that every time you take the car out for a spin. If you want really good lifters that have a great track record then as the redirect post from 01ssreda4 say use Morel lifters and be done with it.
