I just ran my jet boat over the weekend with a Hyd. roller cam on solids and started out with .006/.006 cold lash. Engine was pretty quiet but had a little noise when it was warmed up but still think it was quiet compared to the lash setting of a full solid setup.

It was way less than what I’d seen from similar videos using other lifters.

In the end, the hot oil pressure is fine, and that motor completed drag week this year without issue.

That's good to know, since my "next build" block doesn't have bushed lifter bores like the current one does that has BAM needle-bearing rollers in it.

I like the BAM lifter features. They measured about .0005" wider than a couple of different COMP lifters I checked, so they fit the bores a little more snuggly, too.

I realized I don't need pushrod oil-thru based on the oil passage diagrams and plan to use the thickest pushrods that will work (which would retain more oil and weight).

I ordered the Lunati bushed solid lifters. A whole $119 off black friday sale. "https://www.lunatipower.com/sportsman-solid-roller-lifter-set-w-bushing-for-chrysler-383-440-426-hemi.html - Same as Comp cams $1,195" ... $1,076.36

Can't help with the bushed lifter choice. I like the valve spring choice, looks great for that combination.
I wouldn't worry about the needle bearing lifters, the cam and springs are pretty mild.
Do you need pushrod oiling? I have the 1.6:1 ratio Harlan Sharpe rockers on my 440 source heads and have had no oiling problems with the rockers / pushrods. The pushrods were ordered custom length for the correct rocker adjuster distance.
If you are going the high dollar route with pricy lifters and bushed lifter bores, I would look into the keyway lifters and bushings. Without the link bar and being able to change lifter bore diameter with the bushing it would allow a wider range of lifter choices.

The Isky bushed red zone in my drag week hemi have been rock solid, with no lash change. BUT, they are ridiculously inconsistent in diameter and tapered. I had to sort through and measure 3 sets and select the 16 that were all close enough in size and had the least taper before final honing the lifter bore bushings. And return the rest.

I have a few sets of Isky Redzone EZ-max or whatever. They are rated to 1400lbs.

The bushed Comp lifters in my GTS were around $1k a year or two ago. They are rated to 1100lbs.

As stated the Isly bodies measure all over the place. I just call and ask them to measure the set before it ships.

I wanted BAM for that engine. I think Mr. Porter told me they were out of stock at the time.
