I cant find where someone else asked, sorry, I even searched. couldnt find what I needed.
I know its a good idea while I'm in there, but how good are the stockers?
I'm going with a cc306, and only have 60000km (30000 miles) on my car.

In a hydraulic roller setup, reaching 7000rpm isn't just your pistons. You need a rev kit that will force pressure down on the lifter bodies to prevent valve float. Let alone the $$$ in lightweight valvetrain components.
New lifters are not required, but I believe it is advisable to replace the lifters. They are a wear item and since you are that far into the engine it just makes sense to install a fresh set. While I am sure there are several cases where a used set went another 50k miles after a new cam was installed, I'll bet there are many more where they are crying and wishing they had.
