Lou-

For the FE, only Morel has short travel lifters... They're not much more expensive than the regular ones, but there is almost no data from the experienced builders about them on the FE sites. Like Brent said, ability to live at those revs is really a function of valvetrain mass. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but based on your header, you're playing with a Windsor? Huge difference between that and an FE with regards to valvetrain mass. Not trying to be argumentative, and I apologize if my assumption is wrong...
