Head/Cam Questions.

Going with Lloyds head/cam package and I want to make sure I am purchasing everything needed on my end so I can install these upon completion.

ARP 7/16 studs
GM 14011051 guide plates
7.2 Comp High Tech pushrods
Comp Pro Magnum 1.6 ratio 7/16 stud NSA rocker arms

Do I need new lifters as well?

Also, would the 7.2 Comp Energy Tech Pushrods surfice for my goals?

400-420HP N/A 6400rpm shifts...

Re: Head/Cam Questions.

Don't forget:
-head bolt kit from ARP
-heavy duty timing chain set, Cloyes TR or Rollmaster (if you ever want to go to an elec. waterpump now is the time)
-lifters are a good idea, comp "R" or crane
-gaskets (might as well get a whole replacement kit)
-7.2 High Energy Tech pushrods should be fine, if you get the heads milled for higher compression you will need shorter ones.
-Injectors 30#, 32# or 36# (stock ones 24# will max out with you goals)
I've found Combination Motorsports a good source of information. If you unsure of anything give them a call, very helpful.

Re: Head/Cam Questions.

You should hold off on buying pushrods until you get the whole combo together. You need to check you valve train geometry to see what length pushrod to run.

Re: Head/Cam Questions.

Yah, Lloyd gave me a run down of what I would need. I was just seeing if it was necessary to get new lifters as well... From what I hear the lifters will just pretty much make my valvetrain sound quite...?
