If those springs work with the Comp 728-16 titanium super lock retainers
I have them NIB for $100 shipped. I may even have some super locks as
well. I'm not sure what seats are the best.

Those rockers are limited to .550 lift and you will be WELL over that on the exhaust side.

LT4 springs are marginal at the .525 lift of the HOT cam. GM speced the GMPP versions of the Crane Golds for .550 lift in order to shorten up the slot and make them stronger.

Get the ones that go with the K-800 springs from Motive and don't depend on the choices that others have made. If ya get the wrong ones on an oppinion and they break/come loose/drop a valve it makes a big mess.$$$$
