If your looking for a reason to upgrade and why I am...cause in many articles I have read that support the claim of the stock lifters are okay but at higher rpm's and cams with increased lift and extensive spring pressures the stock lifters will encounter bleed off and reduce your actual total final valve lift.....so where maxing out your combo is a goal and maintaining efficiency is of the upmost priority..I say upgrade to lifters that are designed not to bleed off under heavy spring pressures and high lift.... the comp series ones were only like 250.00 max if I remember right
