Hey Vader sorry to hear about your motor bud!

Those BTR SLR lifters are a very cool piece. No reported issues they are built really well.

If I had known about these puppies I would of gotten them.

After doing some research I found these were a better option the the OE lifters. They have a slow leak down rate and the plungers are gauged during production. I am very confident that these will work fine for my build.

We are practically doing the exact same setup(except yours looks way better than mine) i would really appreciate if you let me know how those lifters workout for you, and if the stock ls3 lifters(since they come with the conversion kit) are as durable as alot of ppl say thanks for your help in advance.

What conversion kit did you buy? There are a lot of opinions on what lifters are better than the next. I have built a dozen LS motors and have not had any issues with the stock lifters. However the BTR lifters are a step up from the mass produced OE ones and the price is very reasonable.
