The 918 beehives are supposed to be good springs and can handle much more abuse than the 224/230 can give them.

On a daily driver setup what better options are there?
Re: Which valvetrain setup
No machine work for the NSA's but ya do need GM guideplates and hardened pushrods.
A '94 should have hardened pushrods if it's stock.
Ya don't need 7/16 studs with the beehives unless that's what fit the rockers.
The Pro Mags will handle a hell of a lot more than you are fixing to give them.

So with the XE 224/230 cam the 1.6 Self Aligning Pro Magnum Roller Rockers will be more then fine? That is what I currently have, they are not installed, after reading alot of posts people act like they are not worth a crap and to get NSA.

There are some that run them but I haven't got that brave yet. 40 years of using RR with guide plates or shaft rockers spoil's one as to not having any problems.
Re: Which valvetrain setup
In the prices I listed Im getting basically complete kits for that. So even though I have hardened pushrods Im getting another set. Since comp pro mags are like 240-300 depending on where you get them the package deal is pretty sweet. Basically for the valvetrain all I need now is to get a cam and that will be done. phewwwww.
Now on to the complete fuel system, complete drivetrain, timing conversion, body restoration, and slicks.
