How many people have actually had a failure with the LS7 lifters? How many people "Know" that the caddy lifter will be more benificial to use?? (on a street car that will NEVER see 7000+ rpms.)
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.

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

It's a crap shoot otherwise. If your lucky go for it. 
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.
