Maybe i missed it, but you will NEED pushrods. Hardened set of comps will do the trick. PM me i can get you some moved out quickly!

You might want to think about upgrading your fuel pump. Racetronix makes a great kit that is fairly cheap and it always helps to be on the safe side.

yeah, the hardened pushrods are part of the TSP package I bought. Thank you for the offer though.

I spoke to Jon@TSP about this and he said it wasn't really necessary at this time, especially if I was going to stay N/A.

I would tell Jon to throw in a genuine TSP Tee Shirt. The ones with pockets are worth at least 5 hp. But they are hard to find!

How about some rockers? For added security/stability? If so which ones, and from which sponsor? Thanks!

DOnt forget the threaded plug on the side of your head. I was overheating and discovered why! The plug didnt come with the 5.3 heads. I have to re use my old one and the other plug is where the coolant temp sensor plugs in..

your rockers shoulds be good for a long time to come, unless you have the extra cash then go for it. scorpion seems to be a good brand.
