Lifter and Pushrod upgrade?

Whenever I rebuilt my LT1 I put the stock lifters back in and the stock pushrods also. I took my lifters completely apart and they were in VERY good condition and my pushrods were straight. Just wondering if I should throw in some Comp Cams pushrods and performance lifters because of my cam. Thanks.

It's a pretty mild cam. You shouldn't worry if you're running it
and it's not broken.

If you are still putting it together, you may wanna use new GM parts
if you are really worried. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'm running stock lifters and push rods woth a CC 218/230/114 cam and 1.6 RR's for 40K miles with no issues. I only rev the motor to 6,200 rpm.

I'd upgrade the pushrods over stock ones since you are running a more aggressive cam and springs than stock, they right now are your weak link.
