Default Thinking about a new cam..

I guess around 15k miles back I installed the following:

New Engine Build..

Powerbond Pulley
LS6 Intake
LS2 Timing Chain
TSP Stg 2.5 5.3L
Ported LS6 Oil Pump
7.4" TSP Pushrods
APR head bolts
TR224 112
42lb SVO Green Top Injectors
LS7 Lifters

... and now I'm considering having Pat G spec me out a new cam for what I've got.

Can I reuse pretty much most of my setup (springs, etc) or will I need all new pushrods again, etc?

everything is pretty much good, I guess depending on what he gets you, might need new springs, perhaps not! Here is a good chance to see how everything is, this time around definitely dont low budget any internal mods. What kind of cam? aggressive, daily?

Well I want to go more aggressive.

The car is no longer a daily driver, but it won't ever hot the track so it still needs to be reliable..

That sounds like a good cam. Check the springs for pressure since 15 thou
Probably fine if they are duals. May need 7.425 PRs to correct lifter preload
with the higher lift cam...Pat or Geoff would set you up with the right stuff
