Okay guys so here is the deal "sigh"

I was gonna go for my 500whp power goal without taking off the head. My uncle talked me into having him flowjet it at his work for free so I figured what the hell. Well now that the heads off I was saying what the hell and going to get poncams. Well after talking to a few people they are saying I cannot reuse the stock lifters/buckets and rawbrokerage has lifters that are 28$ a piece and I need 24 of them. Almost 700$ for lifters, is there any input you guys can give me on this? Should I stay stock cams and keep the stock valve springs and all, considering im only going for 500whp and have a stock bottom end as well?
