If you do replace them, might as well get the new lifters from GMPP that go for around 200 bux. SDPC made a post about then a couple days ago in the LS2 section.

Might as well. I went with the Comp 850s and they've worked fine for me.

They should pump up as soon as you get oil pressure.

Get new lifters and install them since your in there anyway. It is peace of mind if nothing else and they will need to be replaced eventually anyway.
