Should I Reuse My Roller Lifters????

I am putting the LT4 HOT cam into an 89 350 TPI motor with 88K miles on it. My question is, should I buy a new set of roller lifters with the cam, or should I reuse the stock ones? I've read that it's ok to reuse these lifters, but someone else told me that when rebuilding an engine, replacing lifters is just one of those things that should be done. What do you guys think? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

you can reuse roller lifters and it's a good idea to replace them when you rebuild a engine. i guess either would be acceptable, but replacing eliminates 16 potential problems.
