That's a rarity. Most love their G5X3. What aspect did you not like?

Mine didn't require the longer pushrods, but my heads are milled.
I made the mistake of ordering the TSP kit as well, thinking it was complete. It doesn't have locks in it. I would think that if you contact them, they'll help you out. It's only like $10 in parts. They should include them in the kit really.

What are "keepers" are you talking about the spring retainers or the valve locks (little metal fleas )?

I'm currently putting a G5-X2 114 in my Z06 and got the kit from LGM. The comp 921 spring kit comes w/ hardened pushrods, springs, new seats, new viton valve seals, new Ti retainers. I reused my stock valve locks as those are fine, but had a spare bag laying around just incase I dropped any. I'm assuming my kit came w/ the correct length pushrods for the cam I'm running... I f'n hope so. They're a smidge longer than stockers.

As far as "other" things I'm installing a LS2 chain, LS4 oil pump and ATI super damper.

Cammin' the Z06

You need slightly longer ones, the base circle of the cam is smaller, call LG.
