I think u can get about the same thing from TSP for less money. I got a pored LS6 oil pump when I did my cam change. I would stay with the stock lifter unless u get the caddy lifter. Also I would have the AFRs milled to 62 cc. and use .040 comtic gaskets. and AFR head studs. If u mill the heads dont get to big of cam unless u fly cut. 224 228 will fit. I hope.

The LS7 lifters are now the GM OEM stock replacement for our cars. No original LS1 lifters are made anymore according to GM.

Also look at the Melling oil pump from Matt@SDPC.
