Default Anybody ever use solid roller lifters in stock block?

I was considering options for my next engine and can't remember ever seeing solid rollers installed in a stock 5.0 block. What I want is more RPM potential than the stock hydraulics are capable of. From what I've researched the stock lifters are no good after 6100 rpm and the cam I'm looking at is rated to 6500 rpm. I guess my question should be what are my lifter options for 6500+? Does anyone make a hydraulic lifter light and strong enough for that kind of abuse? It looks to me like Crane and Comp Cams hydraulic rollers are OE replacements and they don't claim any advantage over stockers in their online catalogs. Does anyone have some experience they would like to share?
