I'd get some regular Comp Cams or Crane lifters. Nice and cheap.

lifters

Summit lifters are great they are made by crane and cost about half of what the others want for lifters

What ede said....

Just about all of them from the big cam companies are made either by Elgin, Perfect Circle (Dana), Sealed Power, or Melling. None of the cam companies actually makes them themselves.

But if you're not changing the cam, don't change the lifters; and if you are changing the cam, get the lifters from whoever made the cam, so that there will be no warranty issues.
