Default Are stock lifters ok for my build?
I'm building a new lq9 engibd, just curious if I would be okay using new stock lifters or do I need to buy ls7 lifters or what. And if it's recommended that I go with ls7 lifters, do I have to do anything special for them to work or do they fit like normal lifters? Thanks fellas

your stock lifters will work fine like mentioned, mine seen 7k-7800 rpm limits with no issues. ls7s are great for the price
