You really need to provide some more information for everyone to recommend the best lifter for you. What camshaft, what spring, how many RPM do you plan on turning, etc?

Matt you dont think he would be fine with the LS7 lifter for only 600 horse and the cam set up and rpm range that he is running. Just trying to get some ideas? I cant wait to see the 2 engines we are getting from ya'll.

With the extra stress of the boost and what I'd call a mildly aggressive camshaft...I'd go with caddy lifters for a bit of added insurance over the LS7's.

Cool thats all I wanted to know. If someone already had the LS7 lifter though would you tell them to upgrade for a similar setup?

If they were going to have the heads off anyway, yes...if not, probably not.
