Default Springs pushrods lifters for G5x4 cam?

Currently trying to get stuff together for a ls build going in my first gen Camaro. I didn't plan on going with such a radical cam but i got it for a pretty good price so now i need to invest in everything else to make this work. What springs pushrods do you guys suggest and also is there any major difference in the brands of lifters or will any of them do? Thanks for any input.

In my ls1 with that x4 cam i ran comp 921 springs and a 7.35 push rod i believe. I can tell you that cam only gained 5hp on the dyno over the x3 cam. I ran no faster at all in the 1/4 mi for that x4 cam being harder on the springs.

It really wasn't my intention to go this big, but when i say i got a really good deal on the cam i mean it. I know i'll probably make up the cost in everything else but i couldnt pass it up. How did the 921 springs treat you, how many miles have you gotten out of them so far? I thought i had to use 7.4 pushrods? Can anyone else chime in on this?
