I did do some more reading, and running HV HP does seem to be only useful for high performance engines with tight clearances. I'm planning to run pretty standard .0020-.0025 clearances and only rev to about 6k, so yeah a standard pump does seem to be proper.

As far as the roller tips, are they not useful for any kind of power or longevity? Is it even worth running the COMP roller tip lifters or should I save the money and keep stock ones? Or would the extra splurge be worth it on full rollers?
