which solid lifters? push rods? combo is LS3 416, TFS TEA 245s, Crower shaft mounts. I was thinking link bars due to cam change possibilities. Car is not street driven. type of pushrods?
going to use 3/8" but do these need be oil restricted?

To my knowledge most full roller rockers have the feed holes small enough to act as minor restrictions. I doubt you would also need pushrods that restrict unless the rocker literature has info that suggests this.
Speedtigger is using a Cam Motion tight lash roller cam that has a solid lifter that rides in the plastic trays. I'm unsure of the longevity of such a set-up although I will say that the link bar style is heavier and should have a tad more spring pressure as well to keep the parts in check.

03EBZ06, we have very similar builds and I would suggest that you use the largest pushrod that you can fit, NO RESTRICTOR. I have a little less seat pressure and almost 700 open and I'm using a 7/16" double taper to 3/8" .135 wall thickness and a 210* radius tip. There are not too many solid roller lifters that use the stock plastic trays. I'm using Jesel lefters with the stock trays. I think that I would probably Isky EZ-Roll, Morel Ultra Pros or Comp Cams Elite lifters for your application. If this is street driven you must make sure that you have pressurized oiling to the axle. I would recommend it anyway.

You don't need a short travel lifter. You need a solid roller lifter. A short travel lifter bridges the gap between the two. Here are some nice examples.

Ideal, I know they make a .842 size - http://www.briantooleyracing.com/mor...r-lifters.html
