What's everyone suggest? New motor in the works and trying to decide.

The important things-

7000rpm
.660 springs
And high cylinder pressures.

Curious as well. From the research I've done so far it seems like the Morel 5206 is what people are recommending for above 6500rpm.

I am leaning to Morel 5290's

I was gonna run LS7's but have seen a couple fail recently that should not have, granted that can be the case in almost any situation but if it helps me sleep at night.

These were right from GM as they are using them as replacements now. Not the cheap GM/Delphi ones.

I just went through all this and ended up with Johnson slr.
a couple big name people in the industry turned me away from moral.
I have however ran LS7s before with no issues
