Default g 5x2 owners come in

whats goin on guys i just bought a g5x2 112 lsa about a month ago.i was wondering what springs you guys were using. i was thinking about going with an ls2 timing chain, stock size pushrods, and possibly the patriot golds with the retainers. any suggestions and where you bought it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Tha Patriot golds would be fine, along with the PRC spring kit from TSP. There basically the same thing. I'd look for a double roller chain if I were you. Contact Texas Speed, Thunder Racing, or Horse Power Engineering. There all sponsors, and you can find their links to the right.>>>>>

thanks guys....i had actually heard from some people that the double roller chain sets arent all they are cracked up to be and thats why i was going to go with the ls2.....ill def start looking into them though. also on tsp's website they have comp valvetrain upgrade kits....what do you guys think about those?

I'd go with an LS2 Timing Chain. Unless you plan on adjusting the timing of the cam via a Double roller. Otherwise, your wasting $$.

Have this cam with Comp 921s - good to .650 lift right, so they should give some amount of insurance against spring failure.
