Valve springs & Push rods? I've got a 98 TA M6, the car has all bolt on's right now. Within the next month I plan on installing a cam, BBK intake, ported tb, having my stock heads and BBK intake both ported and polished, and a double roller timming chain set. The cam will be a patriot 232/230 Dur. @.050 .580"/.580" Lift 110 LSA. My question is do I need new push rods with this set up? What length? and do I need new springs for this cam? when I do the work should I replace the oil pump? and why? Any help with these questions would be great. Thanks guys.

Yes replace pushrods, get some comp cam 918 springs and replace the oil pump while you're down there. Depending on the mileage of your car you should probably replace it anways. A good ported oil pump from Thunder Racing should do. Not sure on the length of the pushrods for your setup, do some forum research and see what other people are using with that cam setup.
