lifter and tune question

Car is a 95 lt1 6spd camaro. current mods include

k&n cai
throttle body air foil
160deg. t stat.
Jet hot long tube headers. No cats No egr
custom y pipe with dual cutouts to a borla exhaust
3.73 rear gears.
spec stg 2+ clutch.
17in zr1 rims with nittor drag radials

Would my stock lifters be safe to use on my LT1 with
-CC 502, 987 springs, seats, locks, & Ti retainers
-comp cams pro magnum 1.6 sa rr's
-comp cam 5/16 push rods
-arp head bolts and studs.

The stock lifters have 0 miles on them along with the rest of the motor. If there not good to use what would you suggest to use?

As for a tune would it be necessary(sp?) for a a baby cam like the cc502. Its slightly larger the a lt4 hot cam. I believe it has 2 degrees more lift but would have to check the cam card when I get out of work. I've heard of people running a lt4 hot cam kit off a stock ecu.

Don't think it will hurt anything.

Stock lifters are just fine with most hydraulic cams, not just new ones either reusing originals is very common.

Far as the tune, if you aren't going to tune the car don't bother modifying it.

It's gonna get tuned. Just not at the time of everything being installed and fired up. My bank account is liking me right now so IF I can hold off for like 2 weeks then i will. I just want to be able to make sure I can drive it around for possibly a few days without a causing any problems.

Don't beat on it, but you can drive it.
