What are you planning to do with them?

The Continental DWS's are really good tires for the price. You might check them out. They carry LOTS of different sizes as well.

I bought a set of BTR SLR lifters, but I was just surfing around and I am seeing some lifters with connecting tie rods. Why are they connected and is it necessary to have? My plans with my car is not for track or road course. Just to build a bad ass camaro and go to car shows and some spirited driving.

Ordered some Continental DSW tires today. Should be installing tomorrow. Got 295/35/20 for the rear and 255/45/20 for the front. Big ups to Axis for putting me on to the DSWs, thanks bro!

The tie bar lifters are good if you have high spring pressures or will be spinning it to the moon. BTR SLR lifters are an excellent upgrade to the Ls7.

Still here biaches, lol I've just moved on.

Since we're on lifters, I just lost one for the third time, took the cam with it again. Oh well, needed an excuse to upgrade. Any how, with three failures, all the same, I'm starting to think there is a valve spring issue. The rollers are failing which could be excessive spring pressure or in this case I'm thinking to light. It is a VVT-3 cam with PRC 650 doubles. Are these springs known to fatigue easily?

Wow.
Is the pushrod length correct?
Try the BTR springs.
How many miles are on the springs?

Pushrod length is correct, no coil bind. seems like I get about 20,000-25,000 miles out of them if that's it.

I'm not completely torn down yet but here are a couple of pics.
