Trouble is the LS7 lifters have gotten a bit pricey. I wouldn't run anything else.
If you are going with a cam bigger than stock get better valve springs and lifters.
Looking at Trick Flow Cam and Head Combo. It comes with Roller Rockers but no lifters. My LS1 only has ~50,000 original miles. New Cam lift is 585/585 so while not Hugh its up there and matched to the heads. Being Old School I always go with new lifters with new cam. They do offer Stock replacement lifters for under $300
You mentioned LS7 lifters, are they supposed to be better and be used in LS1?.
I don’t mind the $ if it’s worth it
Thanks
