Again everyone use what you want. Dont say you werent warned. Even the GMPP ones arent real accurate, but they are decent. Problem is they arent hardened. Hardened pushrod vs non hardened steel = guideplates messed up and rockers screwing up your valvestems since they come out of alignment.

K, well don't use summit then. How about comp cams, parts numbers on their own website show them all being the same, and then theres different ones for the LSx heads. Not trying to argue or anything, just saying that i know several people that have used summits brand and still to this day nothing is wrong.

Yes you need guideplates with NSA rockers hint the non part.
crane cams make's the ones for GMPP as well as there performance cam's i.e. the 847, lt4 hot cam kit, lt4 roller rockers ect... like MSD makes GM's performance ingnition box
this is the 847 cam the grind is inscribed on the front even if you bought it from gm like i did

use what you want adjustables are better but the lt1 head is a sbc head and the parts are inerchangable
