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.....

Unfortunately, the photos in this discussion have been deleted by the "photobucket fiasco', but the discussion might be helpful....
