putting a cam in an LT4

Hello, I'm looking at putting a mild cam (226/230 .550/.550) in a stock LT4.

I'm just wondering what all needs to be upgraded in order to do this. Is it just the pushrods and springs?

you dont have to upgrade anything else. some other things like a roller timing chain,valve locks,retainers, and some good roller rockers are always a good idea. and dont forget about getting a tune if you want to get the most out of it.

Max lift for LT4 springs is .525". I would definitely get springs at a minimum.
