Default Finally ordered a cam

Ordered a BTR 38% fuel cam with dod delete. I talked to the guy over at btr and we went through the whole kit to make sure I had everything I needed.

My question is as far as lifters and head studs go, should I get ARP stud with the corner or without?
Also on the lifters are the ls7 lifters ok or is there a better option? I was thinking of going with morel link bar lifters, for cheap insurance

I also ordered a cam phaser kit, is there anything else I might be missing?

ls7 lifters work great and I would recommend them for your setup. If you want something a little better you can do the Johnson lifters, always, and I mean ALWAYS measure pushrod length. If you wish to do the studs don't worry about the corner bolts. We have lt motors making over 1100 rwhp without the corner bolts. Any other questions just give us a shout.

Which Pushrods would I need if I choose to go with the Johnson 2116 lifters? Only reason Im leaning on the Johnson is for the added insurance on my motor. Id rather spend a few extra bucks and have an ease of mind when I go wot.

you must measure based on the preload they recommend for those lifters.
