So im in the process of a mild ls1 build. Will be running decent cam (236*-240*-111*-.631"-.610"), ls6 intake, bigger throttle body, new pushrods, ported 241 heads and set pf Howards 1.7 Billet roller rockers. Aiming for around 400+ rwhp.

Main question i have is surrounding lifters. Looking for quality aftermarket and was wondering if i really really need tie/link bar lifters considering its not a mega hp motor? To me lifters are cheap insurance, so I don't want to really risk standard or ls7 ones, but I am not sure if i should just go quality single or tie bar lifters.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Lee

Drop in lifters should be fine for your application. Look into the Johnson 2110 and new trays.
