Hey guys im due for cam swap within a month or 2. I have already bought a camshaft and valve springs. The cam is a stage 3 crower and specs are 226/232@0.50 566/566 114lsa. Would anyone know how this camshaft would sound?? I also have psi valve springs (single spring). They didnt come with any locks retainers or seats. Would I be able to use the standard ones? If not were could I purchase these? Its a 6spd LS1 .. current mods are twin 2 and a half inch system with 4 into 1 headers otr intake 4.11 gears and mafless tune. Any extra ideas welcome thanks

You'll need new pushrods . And probably a good idea to change the timing gear set and oil pump . That cam is mild , it will have a bit of a lope . Places like vpw and rocket can supply those bits otherwise try summit in the states you might save a few bucks .

Hey mate thanks for that. Yeah I forgot to mention I will be going double row timing chain. And as for pushrods how necessary is it? As im still deciding to either port the heads or not. Im just not sure how far I want go with it.

The pushrods will definitely need to be done to get the right pre-load on the lifters .

Ok ill put that on the list. Wats your opinion on doing lifters n roller rockers aswell? ---------- Post added 24-11-13 at 20:55 ---------- Also wat pushrods would I need to get to match wat ive got?

They'll need to measured I'm told . I've been trying to find out which ones to get for mine as I've got a pretty common cam for mine but no one will give me a straight answer . I've bought ls7 lifters for mine , they reckon they're an upgraded lifter . You can buy them from vpw . Don't think you'll get roller rockers under the standard rocker covers .

Ok mate sounds good. Ill keep you updated on what happens with pushrods might be able to get you an answer. Ive also been told standard are fine... this stuff can get confusing at times loll

Hey Sam to change your lifters your heads have to come off any way, so you might as well get them ported while there off now, you can use the standard valve lockers cos I was told by flow-craft there pretty good for stranded. Roller rockers I wouldn't bother with cos there too pricey for the little gain the give ya,but it's up to u at the end of the day. You also go on vcm web site to buy things as well, I got most of my stuff from them, n also it would be a good idea to replace the rocker pedestal bolts due to the fact there toque to yield
