LS3 / W LSA lifter failure

Incase you don't want to read my story, what lifters won't break in a supercharged ls3?

Awhile back some weird crap happened after washing my car, after drying it I did a little hot lap to blow dry the places that run out in garage. After taking off I got in it a bit while the tires must've had a little water in tread, it got to violently shaking and I bumped the throttle a couple times. Then experienced a large backfire pop.

Then came the noise, similar to a playing card on the spokes of a bicycle when your a kid. First I thought blower coupler (not it) today I finally cracked it open to swap the timing guide out to ls2 style. (not it)!!

It sucks but I know things break, not my first rodeo. Not sure if cam is ok or not yet, I may change it anyway. Thinking about head studs since they'll be off? What lifters hold up?

Thanks for your input gentlemen.

The ls7 lifters are supposed to do fine.
