while i have the cam now, im looking at the nsa 1.6 rr's and the patriot performance spring set? and what im wondering is if this is a good move? and while doing this, im wondering on the pushrods, and how much is needed to get the rockers adjusted right, and what some have experienced with these products, if at all? all comments and suggestions are welcome, and thanks ahead of time...
Those are good springs, what I'm using.
I dont like the cam but sounds like you're already set on it.
If you use stock lifters and the heads have never been off the car, stock length pushrods will be fine, otherwise measure.
If you use NSA rockers you will need guideplates and hardened pushrods as well.
