Yup Comp 850-16 lifters they are cheaper than stock GM lifters and better. I had to replace mine after they messed up my cam. And put a new set of lifters. If i went with stock the lifters itself would be about 800-900 buck on just the lifters.

I tried the Comp R 875 lifters, they make more noise than solid lifters.
Just bought Morels, will let you know soon how they work.

The Morels are fully rebuildable. They are worth some HP. Much more stable at high rpm.
