There are now, a number of suppliers, for the "upgrade" kit that you've linked. Originally, it was Comp Cams, and yes, I installed that trunnion kit in my C-5, 4-5 years ago.

However, later on, Straub Technology, followed by others, introduced a DIY kit that uses bronze bushings, rather than the needle rollers, which some people were having trouble with. (the needle bearings were "chewing up" the trunnions)

I removed the Comp Cams trunnion kit, and installed the Straub bushing kit, in my car, 2 years ago. Difference in performance? No. Difference in sound, from the valve train? Yes, it's quieter.....
