Default Need some info

Ok I am ordering my GM 847 here next week and I need some information. I have LT4 springs...will they cover the lift on this cam? Do I have to have adjustable roller rockers (1.6) or can I run the stock rockers? Any info would be great.

you need different springs and you dont have to change the rockers. i believe comps 918s will work, but im not sure.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. 918's with new retainers and keepers (locks). Ok...next question, should I get aftermarket lifters, stock replacements, or keep the stockers (100K motor). I am getting hardened pushrods btw.

new pushrods its definitely a good idea, the stock roller lifters will be fine, but a set of comp R lifters wouldnt hurt. I run a very similiar cam slightly bigger.
Id reccommend 7/16" studs and Comp Pro magnum 1.6s though.. never skimp on the valve train.

Hey I saw your new combo in this thread and another. I was just gonna tell you that if you need some springs, i have some Comp 977's with locks, and Ti retainers for sale off my LE2 heads. If you want PM me, I have them and some SA 1.6 pro-mags too. PM me if your interested. I believe that your projected goal of 360-370 is where ypu will be.
