What lifters?? Ok guys I almost got everything I want for my installs. I'm goin with a set of TSP LS6 CNC heads along with the cam, spring kit & pushrods in my sig. The rest of the mods goin on are in the sig. Along with ARP rod bolts. I want to upgrade lifters when I do my H/C swap. I just don't know what size or type to get for my application. I need advise from the professionals.
I went with Morels, top notch quality and the oiling system is a little different to aid with the lifter sitting lower in the bore. Also has a slightly larger roller so the roller RPM will be reduced for a given camshaft RPM.

They are a direct fit into LS1/6 engines? This might be an option for me instaed of hunting down mellings.

Im stuck on deciding if i should go with the comp cam high energy lifter or the pro magnum lifters, only a $10 difference, im trying to do the same thing... Whats the difference if anybody knows and which should i go with
Comp OE. They will be much easier to set up than the Comp R lifters. I am running the OE's in mine as is Anthony. Jordan had the Comp R's in his V6 and then switched to the Comp OE because of how noisy the R's were....once he switched, that noise was gone and we know the rest (or at least those of us from around here....oklahoma....do).
comp or crane OE replacement lifters
or if you want some baller factor, get the morels
EDIT: I hear the lunatis are the same as the morels, just not as expensive, can anyone confirm this for me?

Rhoads lifters are going in on mine and the car should be finished relatively soon. On your cam the lifters will make you cam profile a little more streetable meaning sitting at a red. then ofcourse once you get going then power is restored. WE have a few followers waiting for my results there are others who have swapped and has seen low end driveability..let me check my threads then I'll link it
Ok got it

The "R" lifters are supposed to be set to zero lash and then tighten the polylock and set screw with the engine warm. This presents as somewhat of a conundrum in that you have to remove the heads and intake to install your new lifters. Even the guys in the NHRA fuel pits aren't that fast. Besides, installing a new set of lifters means they've havn't as yet been warmed up (pumped up) for the first time. The only solution is to put the engine together, let it warm up and take the coil packs and rocker covers off and then do the polylock adjustment all over again. Talk about a royal pain in the ***. I've had a set of "R"s in my 99 Silverado for about 5 years now. Once I put the motor together I never went back and did the adjustment with the engine warm as recommended. I guess I got the adjustment right the first time. That was over 50K miles ago. The engine was clacking (sewing machine sound) like crazy for the first few minutes, but then it slowly quieted down. That's normal for these motors when the key is turned for the first time after a tear down. You just have to grit your theeth until the noise goes away and then you can breathe a sigh of relief.
