Answer this question about cam install... I'll soon be installing my TR230..
I currently have:
Comp Cam Valve Springs 918's
TR Hardened Pushrods (on the way)
Comp Cam Titanium Retainers (on the way)
My buddy told me that with hardend pushrods I would need NEW GUIDE PLATES (is this true)
He also said that I would need new lifters.. If these last two statements are true.. what would you guys recommend for lifters and the guide plates.. by that I mean what brand..
Thanks

LS1's dont have guideplates, you dont need them. As for lifters, unless you want to pull the heads off (which is a much bigger job than a cam swap) the stock lifters will have to do. 99% of everybody on here uses stock lifters, so unless you are going with a crazy cam, don't worry about it.
I'm assuming your buddy doesnt have an LS1.
