Good read, but I saw a LOT of questions go unanswered in there.

I'll be running link bars without question.

That was a good read. I've been planning on doing heads and swapping lifters so that helped a little. Phil at ai suggested ls7 lifters but I've had my eye on the morel 5315s.

I ran and had good luck with the LS7's but if I had to do it over again and was using ls2 trays, it would be the 5315's hands down. I mean they're only 199.

That's quality and piece of mind at a good price I say.

This is my thought as well...do it once, do it right.

Just so you are aware, Cadillac race lifters are an LS7 lifter designed to run to 8500rpm.

I hear people have ALOT of problems with the caddi lifters and they need to be inspected VERY well before install because the roller cracks very easy
