Yep. Thats what Im getting ready to order now.
They are better for sustained revs. Leak down slower than normal lifters for that extra extra cushion for big cams.

So what's better about the 5290's over say Brian's SLR lifters besides the link bars. To me the main attraction of the better Morel's is the larger diameter roller and you don't get that with these.

I used the SLR lifters in mine...

There is nothing special about the "LS7" lifters, they are the default factory replacement lifter for all LS engines now.

I talked to brian when considering my 5290's, and he suggested them for the slower leakdown rate and the fact I wanted to ditch the plastic trays
however he doesn't suggest the 5206's for street use (the larger roller ones), they have extremely tight tolerances and could clog on a daily driver, they're suggested for track queens that drop the oil and filter after each race day
