Default Summit lifter kits

I see Trickflow sells a lifter for the ls1 engine. I also know summit sells a lot of Trickflow stuff relabeled as "Summit", since they own Trickflow.

Does anyone run the Trickflow/summit lifters?

I don't need high rpm stuff, just oem.

Replace my stock 75k mile lifters in a stock rebuild.

I believe the OEM replacement would be the LS7 Lifters with LS2 trays. I got mine from Texas-Speed.

Shipping included I believe it would come out to $162, which isn't much more expensive than the Summit Racing kit.

I have used many Summit parts and tool, but I don't think I would use the lifters. They are cheap enough to get LS7 lifter and sleep better at night.

The reason I asked, is that I heard from a reputable source that the sbf lifter you get from frpp, is the same as the Trickflow, which is now the summit brand. If you guys know that there is an actual difference in the gm/trickflow/summit lifters, I understand. But do you know for sure that they aren't the same exact part?

I ran the summit lifter in my 347 sbf, with zero issues. It was identical in every way, to the oem lifter.

Just trying to find out if the same goes for GM stuff.
