I am with Comp R's, same thing you use the stock lifter version for Comp R's as well because its "STOCK DESIGN"

Works great! Once my outer valve spring broke and the first thing I though was thank God for the Rev kit keeping the lifter on the cam.

I think your builder is right. Side note: how do you like that cam?

I didn't drive yet.. (assembly didn't finish yet) Cam Motion suggested this cam specs.. I think its too hard for a street/strip drivable car ,but they don't like this.. We will see (its 113 lsa >> nitrous friendly)

Too bad it's not on a 110 - you'd really like it. It's a big myth that the wide LSA is necessary for nitrous friendly applications.

Re: AFR hydra-rev

yeah everybody says that I should feel nitrous before I die thats why I get a nitrous friendly camshaft.. Also 110 lsa make more power than 113 lsa right? This difference can be ~~hp??

Why do you think my builder is right?? Everybody says vice versa (they think that I should use hydra rev kit) I can't understand why there are different suggestions

It's added insurance. If you have the $200, and there's nothing else that you think you need right now then I would do it. I'm planning on buying one when I replace my stock lifters which need to go.

Re: AFR hydra-rev

Your cam specs are similar to mine.. Which springs do you use for your 570lifts camshaft??

Comp 987 double valvesprings. I think that I might have to go with something slightly stronger though.

If you go with the 987 then you better get the rev kit to help in the upper RPMs where those springs may not prevent valve float. You should take a look at the LS1 beehive springs.
