Default Stock lifter + high lift cam - opinions?

I just put in the F1 cam from FAStech - similar to MTI's X1 cam.

.591/.569 lift - what are the thoughts and/or opinions on the stock lifters here?

from what i have seen here and read from GM, the stock lifters arr very good and are stable to about 7200 rpms. i am not worrying about mine since my lift is only .572"

I've run up to .600" lift on the stock LS1 lifters. I'm running them now with .581" lift.

even if this cam has radical ramp rates, the stock rollers will be just fine. stock Gen III lifters are far from the weak point of the valve train. spend your dough somewhere else, like, timing chain.

What other option is there (except solid)? Didn’t Comp cut production of the “R” lifter?
