Default Help build me a list of parts for CC503

I have a cc503 on the way and i need help building a complete list of what else i will need. I do need lifters because i have a motor tick that i believe is a lifter problem. Which valve springs do you suggest? Im not looking for the biggest and baddest set im just looking at a decent set that will hold the lift of the cam. If you guys have any suggestions please let me know what you think.

Im very tempted on these. Ive heard that they are relabeled "brand name" springs. I cant help but to be scared of them at the same time though.

For the price you really can't beat them. I will probably end up buying them.

Wish I still had my list of parts and part#'s, here's a basic outline of my setup which has been running strong for over a year now. made 328rwhp on stock heads, 138,000 mile motor.
-cc503 cam
-comp lifters
-comp 918 springs
-comp retainers and locks
-scorpion 1.6rr NSA
-trickflow guideplates for NSA rockers
-trickflow 7.2" hardened pushrods
-Valve stem gaskets
-ARP 7/16" rocker studs
-New timing gears and chain
-cam lube, thread locker, intake gasket sealant, felpro gaskets
-spring compressor tool
-fuel line disconnect tool

**be careful with the waterpump driveshaft seal when you put the timing cover back on - there is a very handy tool you can buy on ebay that will ensure it goes on right and does not spew oil everywhere!

Sometime taking the cheap route will net you alot more down the road when something fails and destroys alot with it. At min i would add a set of pushrods and a new timing chain to that list you have now.
