Default Hot Cam Question
I was just wondering the best rockers and pushrods to go with the GM Hot Cam for the LS1?

Stock rockers and any hardened pushrod. A hardened pushrod is a hardened pushrod. Alot of the companies buy them from the same place and put their name on them.

Allow me....


BTW - Don't run hardened pushrods with stock valvesprings, it could spell disaster.

You shouldn't be running stock LS1 valve springs anyways. For that cam, you can run LS6 springs and hardened pushrods.

Because if the valves ever hit the pistions (mis-shift/over-rev), it will bend them instead of the hardened pushrods.

I'd rather change pushrods than valves.

I think a set of comp 918 springs are the hot ticket for this guy, they are cheap and much nicer than the LS6 springs, which might still let a valve get bent on a mis-shift/overrev.

Keep the stock rockers. Any 7.4 hardened pushrod will work.
