At 30k I'd say your lifters are fine and so are your rockers. I'd look into the trunion upgrade for the rockers at least if it were me.

I agree with the turnion upgrade, but I'd swap out the lifters for ls7's, and ls2 lifters trays.

If you are not doing a monster cam make sure you don't do monster valve springs. Limit the open spring pressure to 400 pounds or less and the rest of the valvetrain will be quieter and more reliable.

Well I'm looking at the AI 243 226cc heads and a 230/238 .615/.617 111 cam

Why such a huge split with cathedral port heads? Do you have stock exhaust?
