What's the details of the valve train? Valves? Springs? Retainers?
What rpm do you want to rev to?

GM lifters can turn 8,000 + rpm with a very light valve train.

I went with the morel 5315 for my build, from the sound of it, they are a slight upgrade over the ls7. I haven't read any threads with them failing, but I have seen a few ls7 failures in multiple threads. Not sure how much of a difference there really is, but that's what I found during my searching.
