Default Upgrading the rest of the valvetrain w/ g5x3 cam

I recently installed a g5x3 cam along with hardened pushrods, and prc dual valve springs, and was wondering what else I could upgrade to lessen the chances of unforseen issues. IE, should I upgrade the rockers and the the lifters, and if so any recommendations? Thanks!

Not to hijack, but I have the same questions..

I would like to know this as well.. I'm installing the G5X3 and Pratriot golds on Monday. I already have the hardend pushrods and will be installing heads hopefully by the first of the year.

I was told by someone if I have the heads off, I might as well change the lifters. Would this be considered true? I've got 35K on the motor right now. Also, would new rockers be a good idea?

IMO.. The rockers are pretty damn good for stockers. If you want to replace them, then go for it. But, you dont have to.
On the lifters, I would. It's cheap insurance for 200 bucks.
I replaced mine. But, mine had 99K miles on them.
