Default cam question. Cmon in!
i got a 224/230 .510/.515 11 and it came with these springs http://store.summitracing.com/partd...15&autoview=sku

and seats/retainers

Im going to be buyin 1.6 rr's and new rods and gaskets. What else should i get with it.

Also, should i get a 218/224 .495/.502 112 cam instead.. it seems pretty mild... kind of similar to the LT4 hot cam isnt it?

That link didn't work. I'd say you should also replace the timing chain. Do a search about your options with that. I'd stick with the 224/230. After a while you'll want to go bigger, so the other one would be way to small, but that's just me, plus, you already have that cam.

I would stick with the first cam. It will give you some nice power and keep it very nice and streetable.

Shop around for the studs and just get whatever's easiest. Probably summit if you can afford it. ARP 7/16 studs for LT1 heads.

Yes on the guideplates and the studs. If you can find the Comp cams hardened studs cheaper, they are ARP also. Just make sure you match the studs to the RR that you get. 7/16 is recommended.

For less than $40, why not? You could also reuse your stock pushrods, but for so cheap you really should upgrade to hardened ones. Do it once, do it right.
