Re: want to do a cam

Combination Motorsports is doing a cam package setup you may want to look into on the Support Vendors area. It would more than likely save you some cash. But it looks like a nice setup. Perhaps some new lifters and dont forget all your gaskets, seals, new timing set, GM guideplates for the NSA rockers, and maybe even an opti or waterpump while its off.

Some other suggestions on a cam - GM 847, XE 223/239, XE 230/236.

I'd replace the lifters as well. Comp Rs are supposed to be good. Also not a bad time to do the timing chain/sproket since the cover needs to come off.

Re: want to do a cam

you are going to need new valve springs. you can use you stock rocker studs and stock pushrods and avoid the guide plates it you get self aligning rockers.

Re: want to do a cam

Yea you DEFINITELY want to do lifters while you are in there. Same with the valve springs. When I did my cam swap I inspected the stock lifters and decided to leave them in.....well the first time I went to the track, on my second run I collapsed at least two of the lifters (still ran a 13.5 @ 106.xx though) So I had to take it all apart again and put in the Comp R's anyway....
