I put in the Comp stock replacement lifters. Half the price of OEM, but made better, and don't require adjustable rockers.

Predator Z, how big of a XER cam are you running? I've got a TR 224/224 .563/.563 now and am thinking about going to an XER 228/230 .588/.592 if I've got enough room.

Melling has a nice set of OEM replacements as well, believe they are about 20 bucks less than the comps.
