Default C7 cam swap...need info

I ordered my smallwood cam along with springs/rods, DOD delete kit and cam phaser limiter.

My question is on which lifters would be best, I am thinking about the Johnson ST2116 but I don't have any real experience with morel, lunati or johson. Trying to get some input

Car is a c7 A8 Base. I got the cam sped out just need lifters and studs to complete it.

Johnsons 2110 should be fine. They were used in Copo Gen 5's up to 8500rpm and still a drop in replacement.

Yes sir I am! Mainly with the new engines where it cannot be deleted.

Talk to you soon Eric when you need the push rods, studs and lifters we talked about today.
