Lifter/Rocker/Pushrod Break-In
When putting all those in, do I need to use the Comp Pro Cam Lube or whatever? Or is there just something generic that I can use? And if there is something generic, will it be better to use the Comp stuff?

If it is the 91 in your info, the roller cam won't need anything special. Soak the lifters in oil and make sure the contact points of the rockers have a bit of oil.
Cam lube goes on the cam lobes and the "bottom" of the lifters. Prime the engine with the correct type of primer and rotate the crankshaft during the priming operation.
This will get oil on all the valve train gear.
Then do the 2000-2500 RPM for 20 minutes to break in the cam.
That is all
PS The factory doesn't even to this. They fill it with oil and run it.
