Stockers or another 1.7 unless you plan on flycutting pistons.

Stock or 1.7 aftermarket ones. I'm running the Yella Terra 1.7's with mine. The Yella terra's, TSP231/237 cam, and the Comp 918 springs make for a surprisingly quiet valvetrain. Much quieter than my old dual spring setup.

Most definately stock. Anything higher and you're going to bring that cam a good bit over .600 lift. Not good for springs..

Definitely stick with stock ratio. YT's are a great investment, for peace of mind. Stock will live for quite a while but HAVE broken under the right circumstance(spun well over 6k constantly).

take your pick of lifts

1.7 = .598/.595
1.8 = .663/.630
1.85 = 651/.648

as you can see, the stock rockers are your best bet

put some 1.8s so you can screw your heads, pistons, and whole motor up!

stick with 1.7s..........
