Should i replace the lifters?


When I install my new cam should i buy a new set of lifters? I know a couple people that have not and they have no problems. I think they are like a 100.00 for the set would this be money well spent??

I like to just to be sure.How many miles are on the ones you have now and if your not sure change them because it would suck if you put the cam and a month later your lifter start messing up.I would go with the FRPP $120 something and piece of mind knowing they are new.
