ok i got you on that, what would you all say to solid lifters? i was told to use solids too, but im kinda werry about that because i dont wanna wear down the lobes of the cam. and my heads are in the process of getting a stage 3 port job so i guess that cam would work well with them afterwards.

I'd stay away from a solid roller on your car. Because they require frequent adjustments it would really be a pain with that intake. Plus solid rollers are better suited to race cars and very limited street cars because they don't oil well at low rpm. Comp makes a EDM roller lifter that really helps but still the excessive spring pressures are a bit much for a street car.
