Default New Camshaft, but....

Ok MC family; got a new camshaft and custom PCM on the way. Anyone have any recommendations for lifters?

My luck with my aftermarket PCM failed miserably.

Does the place that makes/sells the cam have any reccomendations?

I know with 3800 stuff the stock lifters aren't generally an issue with most aftermarket cams. Many 'upgrades' are just to another GM OEM lifter that supersceded the original PN. Very few seem to go with a different aftermarket lifter outside of extreme scenarios. Im just not sure if they're problematic on the 60 degree engines.

I'll have to give them a call and see; considering me having a 3400 I want to be sure the engine will be able to keep up with the upgrades. If I remember correctly most common problems with this engine are leaky manifolds, weak trans and lifters.
