quick question about LT4 Hot cam, stock lt1 springs, 1.5 rockers

I am getting a set of stock LT1 heads and have the LT4 hot cam in my engine. Will the stock LT1 springs support the lift of the Hot Cam if I use the 1.5 rockers? I think the lift is .492 with 1.5's.

Thanks

NO, the stock springs will not work. I have a LT4 HOTCAM too and you will need better springs.

I would probably just install some LT4 springs to be safe, I think they only run about $30 or so new.

Are you running 1.6 rockers? I was planning on running 1.5 till I get more money for springs and 1.6 rockers.
I had to sell my LT4 parts to get a tranny and some cash.
I guess I should modify my sig to reflect the new, downgraded setup.
