Well im gonna be running boosted 408 with bmp warhawk heads, with manley stainless valves, hs roller rockers, 234/234 .666/.634 cam, and probably over 15 lbs of boost. Lifter recomendation would be nice as well as valve springs. Was planning on running k-800 springs, unless i have a better option.

K-800 or manley 700 lift springs will be good.
Lifters I would use the Morel 5206 or if you need the link bar with notch they are same price.

The ones on Tooleys site are not the high-end Johnsons. The high-end are short-travel with axle oiling.

If you want a high quality lifter, you have to pay. Just like the difference in cranks, rods, pistons, cams....the list goes on and on. Pay to play is the motto.
Id run the 5206 in quite a few builds.
They are 100% morel made and super high quality. The only reason to go above that is either above 6500-6800 big boy builds, high spring pressures or very harsh lobes. That is my opinion with some facts thrown in there as well as my experience.
The larger dia roller (and not being captured) sure helps alot.
