Default car sold, ordered cam

Alright I just sold my extra ta and went ahead and ordered the cam kit from tsp. I got the torquer v3. Can't wait. My ported ls6 pump and ls2 timing chain came in a couple days ago. Now I just have to wait and find time to install.
I did have a question though. I know its a lot more work but should I change lifters also. Car has 127k miles on it. Not sure if I should or not
Also any member here have spring compessor I could use for install or cam install kit

Yeah just wait untill you do a head swap, THEN swap those lifters. After you pull those heads once, you will look for every reason NOT to have to pull them again!
