Recommendations for the best solid roller lifters for an LS7?
I'm getting ready to tear my LS7 down for a heads and cam change and was wondering if there is a hands down best roller lifter to get for a solid roller cam?

Are you doing solids because you need solids, or just because you can?
If the former, you should already be working with a valvetrain specialist who is guiding you through all the components needed. If the latter, I'd be talking to an experienced shop that has done more than one solid lifter LS engine. Off the top of my head, I'd be talking to Virginia Speed, RPM, IPS, people like that. Then do what they say. This is a non-trivial swap.
IMO, and good luck.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I've got an overkill set-up with 400+CFM heads and sheetmetal intake and just wanted some thoughts on what's out there in the event that I have missed something. I've pretty much had my mind set on the Isky EZ-Roll just because I don't like the idea of needle bearings needing to be replaced after only very short usage.
