Just because its twice the cost doesnt make it twice as good..
I vote for the tried and true LS7 lifter.. Cause I would be willing to bet the cost of the lifters that you will NEVER see 1 ounce of advantage or reliability increase by going with the caddy lifters.

I am running the Comp 850's on a .631 lift cam and they are going strong bought them used for $80...they make a little more noise than the stockers but bad.

From what I have personally seen, the Morels are the best out there.

Holy old thread.... I went with the LS7 lifters in a completely different combo. They have about 6K miles on them, and have seen seven grand several times without an issue.
