Yes,i did and stock rockers too. You should need new pushrods..I had the x1 cam,x2,x3 and x4 cam from LG. The x3 was the best in my o.p. the x4 only netted me 5hp more and i went no faster at the track. You made a good choice.

Stock lifters will be fine. Driveability is mostly in the tune. I know plenty that DD MS3/4 cars and tuned by our local guy and they have good street manners.

Went with tsp228 after reseArching for two months. One of my biggest factors was being a 193k mile engine, I didn't want to spin rpms 7000+ and still have good street manners for a relaxing cruise!
