i suggest getting some 918's with ti retainers, hardened pushrods, ported ls6 oil pump if you have a 98-00 ls1, and ls2 timing chain. you could get by on the stock tune for a little while just don't floor it all the time.

i've read that one of the years were rated to .570 or .580. i think they're the solid yellow ones. not 100% sure though.

for what little extra it would cost just get some patriot gold springs and then your covered if you ever want to go bigger than that. BUY ONCE BUY RIGHT!!!
