Default Which lifter...need help

I figured I should probably change out my lifters when I do my heads and cam because I've got over 40K on the clock. What lifter do you reccomend with these two cams (haven't decided yet), should I go with new oe lifter or something like the comp R with either the MTI Stealth cam or MTI C1 cam? I'm leaning towards the stealth cam.
Thanks for your input.

Mike

In most cases there will be no need to change lifters at 40k and no advantage to installing non-stock lifters. The stock lifters are very high quality parts. Carefully inspect your old cam and lifters. They will most likely show no signs of wear. If that is so you can confidently reuse your lifters.

Ditto the above but if your dead set on replacing them with anything except stockers, the Comp R's are pretty well recommended.
