Just to be clear - it isn't really "street driving" that's the potential problem. It's prolonged low speed operation. You could achieve the same results as most of the street roller profiles I see with a HR setup. But if good oil is used and it doesn't sit in traffic jams it will likely be ok. Note that the LS7 has a factory redline of 7,000 but can rev as high as 8,000rpm (though it won't power up there with a stock cam and intake, etc.) using HR lifters. Of course, it also has lightweight valves, etc.

Hey, seems to work pretty good. Has a good additive package for solid roller and flat tappet applications.

I had to take the engine back down at 1500 miles, not so much as a scuff on the lifters or cam.
