Yes sir, good info, as now we know what they will look like in MOST builds at different mileages, and mine going 27k, the highest so far and look like they do, swap them out when you do a spring refresh. Even though Andrew said they weren't awefully bad, just for peace of mind, refresh them. Now my next thought is whether to swap out my Delhi LS7 lifters for the "caddie" lifters so I can use more of my rpm power band my LOD wants above 7k. Right now we turned down the rev limiter to 7k to be safe.

Original combo was SS3 cam, OEM LS3 (LS7) lifters, stock rockers with Smith Bros. trunnions, BTR 660 platinum springs with tool steel retainers, and stock LS3 valves. I suggest to any customer that any time your going to exceed either 7,000rpm or 400lbs of open spring pressure that you need to make the step up to the Chevrolet Performance - Racing (pn 88958689) AKA Caddy lifters. They are better material, better manufacturing, and a better design, and hold up much better under those conditions.

Thank you very much for that... I had no idea the ls3 lifters were even that good lol... revving out to 7200 must have been absolutely awesome

So, yea, 7200rpm was fun. 7700rpm is the target shift point with the new Max Package combination, and that's a riot!
