cam swap
cam swap well ive been doin some research and i figured i want to go with the CC503 im goin to do the valve train with crane 10308 valve spring kit, and thats all i no so i would really like to no pushrods that will work with this cam and do you have to run 1.6RR when you do this cam or is it just suggested any ways i dont no what RR to run either so if any one has any suggestion and where i could find the parts id really appreciate ....and im keepin my heads stock so thats why im goin with this cam
Stock pushrods are fine with stock rockers and 1.6 RR are recommended but not necessary. Comp Pro Mags are very nice but pricey at around 300 bucks. Depends on your budget. Also try a search, it works wonders!
i will get you pics of the comp hi tech PRs i have for sale from the other thread you asked about. they will work perfectly for this set up as it is exactly what i ran them in for about 1000 miles before i got P&P heads and had to get shorter PRs. also as far as rockers go the GMPP SA rockers will work well with that cam and spring combo(also what I ran and am still running actually). they are fairly cheap if you can find a nice used set, or new i don't think they are too expensive either.
Here is everything I used when I did my cam swap:
CC503 cam
1305-16 CC Pro-Magnum Rockers 7/16" stud (1:6 ratio)
26918-16 CC Beehive Spring
795-16 CC Steel Retainers (LT1 for 918 springs)
611-16 CC 10 degree Lock (11/32 super lock)
134-7103 Arp (Rocker Arm Stud) 7/16"
14011051 GM Guide Plates
4705-16 seats
You don't even need pushrods since 94's came with hardened pushrods from the factory. It's cheap insurance but I didn't use them. You also don't NEED 1.6 RR's but why not replace them while your in there for a more sturdy valvetrain? Also if you do get them make sure you know if the self-aligning or non self-aligning.
SA= no guideplates
NSA= guideplates

No problem! Any other questions just ask!
BTW you may not want to run the 918 springs from Comp. They have been having problems with them since they switched manufacturers. A company named PAC used to make them for Comp but Comp decided to switch. PAC still makes them but under a different part number. Or if you don't even want to run those springs just find some that are good to .600 lift for your heads. The lift of the cc503 with 1.6 RR's isn't even over .550.

Verdad Gallardo i was also wondering do u use the stock size push rods and are the ok to use with 1.6 RR's i dont want any clearance issues and and this cam is and is there anything else u should suggest im very new at cams and supporting mods so anything u can think of i would really like to hear ... and pork you ever run ur car?
Your stock pushrods are fine as I mentioned. You can get others if you want, they need to be 7.2.
I've been trying to run my car at the track for a while but everythime I go...it rains! The track is about an hour and a half from me and I've made the trip 3 times and it rains every time. I'm going again on Oct. 14.

I used that spring kit with Manley hardened pushrods and the gold rollers from crane...everything works beautifully in my engine..you wont be disappointed with the quality of the 10308-1's
stock length PRs will work perfect for you. The only reason i switched is because my heads were shaved and I needed a shorter length PR. I would swap timing sets if I were you, and water pump and opti if they are original and your car has a few miles. also lifters are something to think about.
