Morel Lifters?

Does anyone know the difference between the Morel "Street" link-bar lifters MOR-5290 and the "Hydraulic" link-bar lifters MOR100-HYD-L?

Thanks Chris, looks like there's quite a few people running the "street" version from the little research I've done but no answer to why?

The Street version has a cast body instead of being machined from alloy bar stock.

Thanks for the info. So my other question is, will the "street" version be ok for a 11.8:1-12:1 H/C/I setup that will be spun to 7000-7200 rpm or would I benefit from "hydraulic" version?

I play at high rpm and don't intend on pulling my heads very often, so I got the non-street Morels. Whether they are worth depends on the individual.

I would use the "hydraulic version" which is proven at those rpm levels.

The 5290 street version are a good choice when comparing to the OEM Caddy Stuff. Morel has modified these with there valving. The body is supplied by a very large OEM supplier. . .one that supplies GM. The Pro series is the part number 5206. these are machined from Tool steel and will take some serious punishment. I have had run as much at 245# on the seat and 600# open.
