If you still have stock springs, consider changing them due to the higher lift numbers. Either LS6 or Comp 918s should work with the cranes. The factory retainers and keepers are easily suited to that kind of work. Thunder Racing didn't even recoment changing the retainers and keepers if I went with their 230/224 cam.
Why are you going with the 1.8 rockers? I keep tossing it around in my head but keep comming back to the point that:
1) $600+ is a lot to spend on rockers when people are reving the sh*t out of the factories and that for $800 I can get shaft mounts that are far more reliable.
2) for abour $400 - $450, I can get a cam that will sound a hell of a lot better and make a crap load more HP/Torque than the 1.8s could ever dream of.
