Help! What Springs and etc? Here's the deal. I just bought a cam, pushrods, and an oil pump from a buddy of mine. The specs are 238/242 @.050 .605/.610 112+2
My mods are listed in my sig.
I need to know what else I'm going to need.
Dual springs? Retainers?
He recomended PRC springs, but are those the best decision?
To make a long story short... I'm clueless and need advice.

I'm running comp cams 928 dual valve springs that are supposed to handle over .625 lift but i know there are better springs out there...just depends on how much you want to spend. You also need to get a different timing chain....once again if you have the money maybe go with a double roller timing set...if your on a budget i would go with the LS2 timing chain...the LS2 chain is what i am running. Also you need to look at getting an LS6 intake....it will help flow some of that air!! Hope this helps some....good luck!

We have the PRC Dual kit(which are rated .650-.660 lift)...
Actually though with the price drop I recommend the Patriot Performance Golds (same as the PRCs with Super 7 locks- just try not to lose any of the locks because they are hard to find from what I have heard)!
Either would be fine...
EDIT: BTW both the PRC and PP dual kits come with the springs, titanium retainers, spring seats, and valve seals... The PP Golds come with the Super 7 locks while the PRCs re-use the stock locks. If you launch a Super 7 you will have to find it, while if you launch the stock locks it is just a quick trip to a GM dealership and a few bucks for some extras (better done before you start if you only have one vehicle)...
