Default What pushrods, springs, and roller rockers?

This weekend I'm bumping the boost up to around 10#'s or more. To avoid valve float I'm replacing the valve springs and I figured I might as well hit the pushrods and rockers while I'm in there. Which pushrods, springs, and roller rockers should I use? What do you use?

I'd go with the Comp 918's and Comp 7.4" pushrods, and keep the stock rockers, which on the LS engines are a really good design. They don't flex like the old school sm blk Chevys do. Bob

Need some cam specs to get a ballpark of what springs you need. Valve diameter and boost also determine how much you need.

I was running 14 psi of boost on 126,000 mile springs, probably not the smartest thing to do... all you need are the 918's for your engine. Bob
