I wouldn't waste the coin on shaft mounted rockers if the cam is a CC-503.

The Comp Cams Ultra Pro-magnums will work great.....and be just 1/3 the cost of a set of shaft mounted rockers.

Also....the LT4 springs are good to about .525" lift and spec'ed for the light-weight LT4 valves. The CC-503 cam = .536" lift on the intake side and .544" lift on the exhaust side with 1.6 rockers.

A better choice would be the CC-26918 beehive springs (recommended by Comp Cams)....or something similar.


Seriously SNM.....are you TRYING to fvck with this guy? Is there a joke here and I'm just missing it?

Anytime someone recommends a set of Callie's rods, with LT4 springs on a mild cam it's a joke!!
OP: PAC1218 are nice springs, I'm using them with my 503.. Also running Harland sharp 1.6 RR's. TFS .80mm thick one piece chromoly pushrods are on my list next... I run Isky retainers as well. It all works good together.

Yeah, but dude might be a high school kid who just bought his first car and really might need the advice.
