Lifters upgrade?

I will be running a D1SC procharger on my stock displacement/stock heads LS1. I will be running a "typical" blower cam, I haven't decided specs yet, with the complimenting valve springs.

Is there any reason to upgrade the lifters from stock with this type of set up that is mainly a street car that only gets to the track a couple times a year.

I want a solid valve train on the other hand I probably wont spin it much higher than stock.

Let me know what you guys think.

Just throw in some LS7 lifters. They have been working out great for me thus far.

Whats different about the design that makes them better than the LS1 lifters. I am sure the design had to change to expand the rpm range for the LS7.
