Lightbulb tried searching, what lifters to use?

I have been playing with the seach function for about a half hour and not finding what I want to know.
So, which lifters would be the best for a stroker, using comp pro mags 1.6 roller rockers, probably comp 918 beehives? I will be doing NSA rockers, with guideplates of course, and this is a daily driver. I want good peices, not clicky cheap ones, but I don't want to blow 500 dollars on them. I am not interested in the comp R's as everyone has problems with them failing. I am running jegs replacement stockers now, but I don't think the spring pressures will equal the beehives.. am I wrong? Anyway, this motor is gonna be new, so I want new lifters too. So, let the suggestions begin!

Stock lifters are fine, but the best stuff out there is the Morel's.

What the man said! Nothing wrong with the stockers unless you are running high spring pressure/high rpm. In which case the Morel's are the best bet. Why not just get 'em? They are around $500.

Re: tried searching, what lifters to use?

interesting. I was thinkin about just the comp replacements, or maybe the cranes. Anyone try just the stock replacements from them too, or just do GM?

Beehives big advantage is lesser spring pressure for the same valvetrain control, so they can control a fairly wild cam without all sorts of other valvetrain work you would normally have to consider with other springs.

Using a set of solid comp roller lifters (don't remember which though ) in my new motor with a slightly taller body to offset the smaller base circle camshaft in it.

i'm using my stock 78k mile lifters with my 918s and CC306. I have a set of old Comp Rs that i'll use when i put a bigger cam in, just to avoid float.
