You don't need the Comp lifters. OEM replacements (LS7s) will be more than enough. You could probably even get away with using your stock lifters if they are in good shape.

I ran stock lifters with my CC306 for years with zero problems, with a CC305 they will be more than enough. I even have 2 extra sets lying around if you need to change them out.

wow man...i really appreciate your generosity... the only reason i wanna change them is because i had a nice lifter tick... and using the stock lifters will not give me the piece of mind that the 850-16s will... but thank you for your offer

Stock replacement lifters are now LS7 lifters, that's why I recommended new replacements. I'm running them in my 383.
