I would just use a set of stock rockers and some patriot dual springs. As for pushrods go with some comp ones but check with thunderacing on what length they need to be.

Im just going to add to this as theirs literally no information on this.
What lifters are people using with this cam and why?
What timing chain are people using with this cam and why?
The above might sound stupid to some people but i find it hard to understand a big cam like this can be run with minimal mods and still remain reliable, things like Morel lifters and expensive springs arent necessary??
Im looking at people who have run this cam reliably and with minimal breakdowns, and what parts they have used and why.

I hope this helps the OP and also myself.

they say to run roller tip rockers with the cam due to how aggressive it is. I read that somewhere in a gm hightech perf magazine i believe. Im sure the stock rockers would be good for some time though.

Stock rockers are fine and stock lifters are fine (wouldn't hurt to change them though) They recommend 7.425 pushrods for that cam. Make sure you check your PTV clearence though cause it can be a little tight. (Ask me how I know). And yes, you will need different valve springs (dual) Call TR and they can tell you exactly what you need to run that cam.
