Yeah just doing some quick searching it looks like CTSV R lifters are meant for small cams and lightweight valve trains which doesn't seem like a good fit to me
Think I'll just do some regular ol LS7 lifters. Seems like that's pretty much a standard GM lifter at this point
It was cold when I did that test earlier, if it's dry tomorrow I'm going to do a little messing around driving it and seeing what happens
CNC heads eh? Have you been able to try that new tensioner out yet?

The Johnsons with axle oiling do lower oil pressure for the oil squiter, but the normal ones, just fine.

IDK about you guys, but I don't like the thought of having a smaller diameter Johnson...

There was a guy complaining about that, but that was a one off thing, no idea which model, and I think he did a bunch of other stuff. Either way I know plenty of people running them with no issues, and its was BTR recommends for a lot of setups. Joe@CPR runs the Johnson in his 1170rwhp c5. They were recommended over the morels/etc. Then again he has suffered from little johnson syndrome for awhile so maybe he is just use to it.

That was quick. 
I'm bored in Florida, so have to find entertainment somehow.

Well, parts are ordered. BTR's website says they'll be here on Friday
ARP Studs
2 x LS9 head gasket
16 x "Chevy Performance LS7" lifters
4 x Lifter trays
4 x Lifter bolts
And that's about it. Should be fine to re-use intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets, and I'm hoping to finally switch over to the valve covers that Sammy sent me
Going to start on it whenever it stops raining

I seriously thought about doing that for a few of them
How have yours worked out? My uncle had his whole mouth done in implants and loves them
