Please help with a few quick questions. Just need some answers from people that know what there talking about.
The cam will be a cc305 or a cc503.
1. Im asuming 1.6 sa pro mags will do me fine, I will not be reving past 5500rpms.
2. What valve spring combo should I go with.
3. 7.2'' hardend pushrods should be good right? stock heads and block.
4. Do I need new valve seals motor has 64k (not rough miles).
5. will my opti run of of the cam dowel pin its a 94 and I will be using stock opti and timing cover?
6. will a factory replacement timing set be ok, I will not be converting to a vented opti and 95+ timing cover.
Thanks in advance guys, Im asking all of these questions because Im 17 and this is all very new stuff to me i will be doing this project by myself so Im trying to do things right the first time.

Yes on the rollers and timing chain. Seals should be ok if its not burning oil. I will let someone else post on the springs.
Why only that RPM? A TON of people rev to 6k and are fine. Before you buy any cam make sure it does not make peak power past what you will spin the engine to. Its like the GM 847, its makes peak at or near 7k. Lots of guys buy that with stock bottom ends but shift no more then like 6200 rpm (say bye to your pushrods and or stock crank past that) so its just a wast because you are not using the cams full power.
When I was 17 I was in a 86 Camaro with a 2.8 V-6 and was clueless, you know more then what I knew lol.
Remeber for a cam to work well you need headers.
