Default Another Morel Lifter Question... Big dog's inside!!

Alright i got a 408 nitrous motor that i just built and am going to run the PI 245 11* heads with a vic jr intake with about a 200 on the bottle, havent gotten the cam yet either (waiting on spec's), but plan on turning about 7000-7200 rpm's.. I am going hydraulic Roller with it and I am wondering which Morel lifter some of u guys have had the best luck with, They're limited travel lifter or the 5206 lifter?? I will probably have a decent amount of spring pressure and will also be driving it on the street and beating on the car pretty hard.. Just curious which ones i need to go with? I have also seen that they're is a good bit of backorder with them right now too.. Any help would be appreciated!

Well if they were the link bar lifters i would be on them right now!! I already had some of Crane's best lifter before that were close to $500 and i really wanted some of the link bar because i didnt want to put it together and "wish" i did the other ones so i sold my Crane one's yesterday.. so, im hunting the link bar style to do away with the trays but it seems NOBODY has them in stock and have been waiting on them for awhile.. I have talked to John @ Thunder, Steve @ Lunati, now i am on hold with Virginia Speed to see if they have any
