Default LS7 Lifters

I know the LS7 lifters work, I'm using them in my LS2. The LS7 lifter is the new standard replacement lifter.

I don't think the springs would be any problem either. Why not go to something like Comp 918's?

Bob is correct, the LS7/2 lifter is now the GM replacement for the LS1/6's, they are also relatively inexpensive when using the gmpp pn

There were some early valve spring failures on the LS7, make sure you know what you have.

Not to say LS7 springs and some other parts are not good but why in the world would you use a good factory part instead of a great after market part that has much more upgrading capabilities and arn't much more in price.
