Default Another Cam Question

I am putting in a Comp Cam 214/222 - 559/566 -115 into my 72,000 mile 5.3ltr truck. Stock trans, 3:73 gears.
Are the lifters in the truck roller tipped like whats in my 5.7 Camaro?
Should I change the springs? Are the factory lifters ok for this cam? I am also installing LT headers and Offroad Y then having it tuned.
Your thoughts?
Thanks!

Its goin to be identical to your LS1...
You can look into the LS6 Yellow springs, they are fairly cheap and work well.

I would not want to use the ls6 springs with that cam. They are only rated to .550 lift aren't they? The new batch of 918's would work great
