Default Stock lifters??

Would i be able to use my stock lifters when upgrading to a decent size cam 222/222Duration .563.563Lift 114LSA? How about pushrods? Keep in mind my 98 z28 has 80000 miles on it.

Any input will be appreciated

You will be fine on the lifters, I have .610 lift with 240 duration and i run Stock lifters still. Actually we took apart a stock lifter and a comp r lifter and they both have the same spring rate, so thats why I just kept my stock lifters, and I havnt had any problem yet. You will need to upgrade to chrome moly push rods though

Stock lifters are fine to run. We run them in almost all of our big inch hydraulic roller motors with no issues.

Also agree that chromoly pushrods are the way to go. Just make sure you get the proper length pushrods.
