Cam Help
Iam running a 503 yes i put hardend rods in but stock would be fine , I have 1.6 rockers to get as much lift as possible . Some people like to use non hardend rods because if somthing goes wrong that will break first not somthing elese . I have everything comp . cam, rods, rollers except guide plates i went with trickflows but gm will work just as good . I recommend switching stock rocker studs with arp even if your stay with stock size . If you follow comp website they will help guide you with everything you need . Forgot to mention iam using pcmforless tune but this is a must tune it before you drive it !
Any insight!!!!
Apperently I was foolish for buying the cc503 cam kit from summit......returning that and reordering the ccc503 cam alone.....got 1.6 rockers coming, slp cai is here, msd opti and coil is here....
So i need springs,lifters,seats, retainers, any thing else? Any brand that people have liked?
Any Advice is Greatly appreciated!!!!

Just to bring up the stuff that nobodies mentioned. Don't forget that you're going to need intake gaskets, timing cover, and water pump gaskets. I'd also set aside a couple hundred bucks for the unexpected that will inevitably happen. I've got Patriot gold extreme springs on my setup but there are a lot of guys on here running PAC and Comp as well. I'd say go with your gut. I recommend going with a little more spring than you actually need just so things aren't running at the limit. Take a look at your lifters when you remove them. If they aren't scored and none tick now they are probably fine for reusing. I reused mine. Cleaning is a big deal as well. Make sure you get all the old gasket and **** off before you start putting it back together. Torque everything. SHBOX.com is awesome.He has the full step by step cam swap. That's all I got. Good luck. P.S. Before you settle on a shelf cam, call up AI or Lloyd Elliot and talk to them about your setu. They can most likely spec you something better than you'll get with a cookie cutter pre-made. (No disrespect intended to those that run off the shelf bump sticks.)
thanks gregrob and rich for responses...
Ive got all seals and gaskets, just looking into what kind of springs/lifter/rods that i should get to finish this puppy up, i went on comps website and have the cc503 cam that is for lt1, and also the suggested springs which were beehive 918's i believe with the retainers, seats, locks, 7.2 hrdened rods.....
is stock timing chain and sprockets ok to reuse?
Only thing i was wondering is if beehive 918 were going to be ok or to go with some dual springs?
thanks for the response.....this is where my car is at right now, all cleaned up and ready for install once I get what I need ordered!!!

This cam is a custom grind and its better than the standard CC 503 cam.
BTW I ran PAC beehive springs with this cam "1518" springs good for .650 lift
