Which lifter to choose
Which lifter to choose I'm on the way to assemble a LS6 engine for my Camaro. It's going to be Procharged. Which lifter to use? Com Cams or LS7? I'm not shure if the LS7 fits on my block and if them are something special. Would like your opinions. Thanks.
Yeah, LS7 lifters can be had ~$100 from Scoggins. I would shoot for those if you are about saving money. No, i don't think it's a shortcut either to go w/ LS7 but someone correct me if i'm ignorant.

Huh? No they are not the same...
BTW, SDPC is about $50.00 less than most of the other sponsors on the Caddy lifters...
These are the LS7 lifters http://www.sdparts.com/product/12499...esSetof16.aspx

Sort of stockers (which are good by all means) versus the lighter weight, better oil metering, and more stability at high rpm race lifter.
Can't go wrong with either, IMHO. The LS7's should be fine for a Heads/Cam car stock block. We have used Comp 850's (which are stock equivalents) for Cam/bolt-on, Heads/Cam, Heads/Cam/Nitrous, and a new set is going in our LSX 454... The Caddy's are the premium option.
lifters The LS7 lifters are good lifters and are now the stock replacement parts from GM, the Caddy lifters are designed to be lighter and more stable if running higher RPM.

If on a budget I would do the LS7s, if not Caddy's all the way. I would also put in some LS2 lifter cups so you don't have to worry about dropping a lifter during a cam swap in the future...
SORRY TO TAKE YOUR TIME BUT YOU ADDED SOMETHING. WHAT IS THE LS2 LIFTERS CUPS? DO THE LS2 ARE THE ONLY LIFTER THAT USE THEM OR THE LS1/LS6 COMES WITH THEM TOO?
They are compatible with any Gen III or Gen IV engine and lifter, they are just a different design than the original Gen III lifter cups/guides. If you are buying all new components, I think they are the stock replacements now, kind of like the LS7 lifters have taken over as stock replacements for lifters in Gen III and Gen IV engines. If you are rebuilding a used LS6 then they are an inexpensive upgrade while you are in there and really nice when/or if it comes time to do another cam swap... We have them now in our 2002 LS6 block LS1...
