Sup guys need some help as to what lifter i should run. Ive done as much research as im willing to and i cant seem to come to a conclusion.

Right now im leaning towards Comp Cams 851- High Energy series. My set up is currently a DSS 306 Pro Bullet block, TFS Track heat heads (milled to 58cc's) and intakes, TFS stage 2 cam, 10.5:1 JE flat tops w/ reliefs, 1.6 svo RR's. This car is driven daily and after re-assembly the NX wet kit goes on, and a quick trip to the local dyno shop.

I was hoping to get some input or maybe some other lifter suggestions that i should consider. any and all help is much appreciated.

Stock/OEM replacement are just fine.

+1. Just get another set of stock ones. That's all I've ever used.

Not sure what the limit is. It's more of a hydraulic limit than a brand limit. I would say 6500rpm is safe. That's going to change with how much you drive it and so forth. I drove my car hard for 10 years shifting around 6200rpms, and never had a lifter issue with stock lifters.
