LS7/Caddy lifters
Be careful on your application.
The Caddy lifter was designed to work under certain applications (i.e. WC type racing with smaller camshafts and single beehive springs). There have been some issues when using with larger camshafts (above .600 lift and double springs).
There is some additional info regarding this if you do a search on LS1tech forum. Most builders using larger cams are using Morel lifters.

I've had the "caddie" racing lifters in my motor since 2007. No issues, and I've had the PRs out lately, and everything, including swipe pattern looks good. I have early Trickflow heads with 7.9" PRs.
