What is a better choice of lifter over the COMP Rs?

What is a better choice for a lifter in a car that sees 7000rpm?

7000rpm? I didn't thik Hydraulid Roller Cam would make any power to 7k. Anyway, I've used Comp R's lifter in the past with no problems. I'm currently using Crane Cams Roller Lifters with good results.

847 is only shelf grind I know of that might pull that far. Even then I know people running the comp r's. The are prob the most recommended around here. I am pulling stock ones to 6500+

I remember reading something in Hot Rod magazine a while back about roller lifters that didn't use needle bearings. They were supposed to be able to handle high RPM and they don't flush needle bearings through your engine if they fail. I forget what they were called though.

if you run a beehive spring, bret bauer tells me i can run stock lifters flawlessly to 6500-6800.

I shift at 7200 rpm and I have dual coil springs with an AFR Rev kit.

Crane makes one, that is somewhat, compariable. I just can't think of the part# of them. There's also another brand of lifter, that are supposed to be one of the best, but I can't think of the name..kinda high dollar though.

The Morel Lifers from what I hear are about the best. They are high dollar but it is definitely worth it if you are pouring a lot of money into a build.
