Hey I was planning to pick up a set of Comp R lifters for my setup. Would that be overkill?

No, just make sure that you set them at 0 lash. They will hang the valves open with any preload. There have been many threads on this recently. My cam doesn't require them, so I went with a stock replacement lifter kit from GM to avoid the hassle.

EDIT: yes, LE stands for Lloyd Elliot. The cams are custom ground to match his heads by Joe Overton.
is there any site or home page to contact elliot by internet
