Well I just got done putting the new chain and pump on, and it didn't fix the problem, so you could imagine I'm pretty mad, now since I've already checked the rockers, and replaced the pushrods, and now replaced the timing chain and oil pump, that leaves what? lifters, main and rod bearings...I just freaking bought this car like 5 months ago, I'm so happy I spent 15k on a piece of ****, and on top of that my pilot bearing went bad in my trans, so I just spent about 450 dollars on clutch ****.

Really?
Sometimes people that have been on this forum for a while can help more than a crappy mechanic... just sometimes.
BTW, PM box has been cleared out.

Not saying he's wrong, just gotta think of everything. If you do want to install a cam, this would be the time, and I'd get new lifters to play it safe. If you don't want to do a cam, I'd just replace the timing set/chain (and new oil pump if you want while u're down there) and see if it is fixed. If not, I'd bet it is lifters. If so, THAT would be the time to do a cam and do th e cam and lifters at the same time (cam swap will be easy without having to replace the chain/pump b/c you already did it). Just my .02 though. It's all up to you.
