Valve Springs / Cam Install I should be ready to install my cam in the next few weeks. I should also have some heads in the near future. Can I install the cam now with the stock springs?

Re: Valve Springs / Cam Install Nope....
That is much to much lift for the stock springs. It is too much for the '02 LS6 springs as well.
You would have to upgrade to something like the comp '918's, Isky's or Rev duals (safer).... there are a bunch out there that will work with any head machining....

Re: Valve Springs / Cam Install You definately don't need new pushrods unless yours are bent. A lot of people swap out their cam without even toughing the push rods. As a matter of fact, when I got the LPE TE package, they didn't touch the push rods.
