decided to go with comp 918's just because they are a very good spring from what i read and the guys at lpe said they would also work if i didnt want to use the ls6 springs,just costs more.does anyone know if the titanium retainers they recommend will give me an installed height of 1.8.thanks guys

I went with 918's and chrome molly 7.425 pushrods. Unless you have the LS6's longer valve stems, you need to increase the PR lenght to keep the lifter preload at the proper value, compensating for the smaller base circle of the LPE cam.

let me know what length pushrods you guys are using .I called lpe to find out what the base circle on the cam is so i could figure it out myself but they dont know that measurment.My motor is stock and i dont think the 7.4's would be correct with that lift on the cam.

See my previous post. 7.450 might be o.k., but to play it safe, 7.425. And I intend to dyno my car after the cam swap, but it will be a few weeks yet. The only change will be LPE cam and an underdrive pulley.

yeah i will use the 7.425 length just because i know 7.4's wont give me the stock preload.I know there is no way the base circle on the gt2-3 is the same as stock so i will definitly use the longer ones to make up for it thanks guys.

I know what lpe says it probably puts you in the .030-.035 preload range which is still ok but i want the factory preload settings of .050-.060.I rather keep the factory preload than what lpe says will work.
