i just bought a 05 ls2 out of a vette. The car had about 60k miles. I plan on putting in a new cam (228 tsp) and new valve springs. My question is do you think I should pull the heads off. Maybe put in new lifters. All the signs point to the engine being in good shape. Thanks for the help.

Any pull out engine should be compression checked and leaked down to see what one haz fo work with. Years back I bought a pull out LS1, my friend insisted on leaking it down before we reused it. It failed in two cylinders. It did look nice however.
If you do new lifters and are pulling the heads, might as well have the heads ported or exchange them as cores for a set of ported heads.
I would also measure and do a set of hardend pushrods, the stock ones are flexible and deflect.
