Lifter replacement
I had a lifter go bad on me ..so now i'm in the process of replacing my lifters. since the heads are off are there any other things i should upgrade or should be replacing such as head work, rocker arms , pushrods? My car is a ls3 ecs1500,headers, and meth. It has 70k miles on it

I would replace the stock lifters with a set of Lunati bar-link lifters. Theses eliminate the necessity for the plastic lifter buckets which have been known to fail, resulting in the lifter turning and wiping out the cam.
