well guys i got the parts from jasper last week (the "new" lifters) i got them out of the box and they were noisy straight away. good thing i ordered my own parts. i got the cam, lifters, springs and push rods installed. put it all back together to find the tank end on my radiator had busted which i then had to get warrantied as i replaced it last year so that set me back some.
i got a tune from one of the members here which was awesome and very helpful (thanks @Geotrash ) i got hptuners installed and running, i got the tune file added/copied into my stock tune and it now runs great. i had to drive it to work so i could get some help with the tune (one of the guys i works with has used hptuners so he knew more then me) so i drove like a grandma to work on the stock tune so i didnt mess anything up it went uneventful thankfully. i drove it and it ran really good and sounds good, the idle at stop lights is "choppy" but not too choppy so well see how it goes lol
just wanted to give an update on the situation. i did also notice that my oil pressure is between 40 and 60 psi on the gauge which i thought was odd as before all of this my pressure was between 20 and 40 but i guess i was losing oil pressure from the cam/lifters as i didnt replace the oil pump.
