Bud,
Roger said when testing an array of different lifters, LS based, he did break caddy lifters as well as other full body lifters.

Good to know, thanks man, that explains why he told me to stay away from the Caddy lifters for sure

You must remember that when using a stiffer spring the opening pressure is mostly offset by the assistance provided by the other valve that's closing at the time. The cam and chain don't do ALL the work, the kinetic energy of the closing valve transferred through the camshaft helps to lift the next one, too.
