I'm sorry, let me get this strait.
These "street" lifters cost $500+ and shouldn't be used that much at the track? If you just use it for the street... why dont' you get a street priced lifter? Doesn't seem that the price bought you anything IMO.

The "street" lifters are much cheaper about half price or less like 230.00 or so but they are not the same as the regular Morels at all. Totally different lifter.

Street version and High rpm lifters are two different lifters. This thread is about the street version Lunati lifters part # 72332LUN \ Morel MM5290
I bought the Morels for my Ls3 stroker because they are built better that the Ls7 lifter and I don't have to worry about a lifter turning on the lifter tray and I don't think my set up should peak past 6500/6700. Besides my car is a street car and I'll be going maybe 5-6x's to the track.
I don't see why these lifters that look better than an Ls7 lifter won't go to 7k?

i understand more reliable and stable, but seriously, if i buy a lifter other than an LS7 and pay 4x as much for it, it better do 7000 RPM and everything and more an LS7 lifter will do.

I would stay away from the Morel street lifter. An engine builder I know used them in four or five motors and they all had wheel axles that moved out of their bores causing various degrees of damage. Its my understanding that the company doesn't track production runs and may not be sure when or who they were sold to. If you have to use them, then check the wheel axles with a drift punch in both directions to make sure that they are tight.
