Default Pushrod length and valve spring suggestions NEEDED ASAP!!!! PLEASE

I just bought a pair of 317 heads with new valve job and milled 30 off. Puttin a cam with a 236/242 duration and .580/.590 lift with 112LSA. Puttin it on my ls1 stocker block. I have pacesetter LT 3in ORY into a flow. Have stock 98 LS1 intake with whisper lid and TB bypass and screen deletion. Has stock 28lb injectors. Also 11.5lb ram flywheel. What should i be puttin down after L&G perfect tune?? Also i need pushrod length recomendations and would i be ok with a single behive .595 lift spring or... Please fill me in. Also what head gaskets are best for the price

First off have you checked ptv clearance? You will need to measure for the correct pushrod length. Do a search on that, there have been alot of threads started on that lately and I would recomend a double spring with .590 lift for added pretection. I have heard of alot of singles breaking lately and ruining motors. Plusss the double spring will give you more stable valve control at high rpm.

Y would i have P2V cleaRance issues?? Ive seen tons of people with this setup and cam duration. I dont think P2V clearance should be any kind of issue with these 317 heads milled 30 down. They are low comp heads anyway, or may i have trouble??

First, since work was done on the valves you need to check the rocker wipe since the geometry may need to be reset as the valve stems may be higher. Second, you need to measure for pushrod length after the rocker geometry has been correctly setup.
