Sets like that are all matched meaning that the Springs and cam are made for each other.

It will cost you more to buy everything item by item than it would buying the kit.

Should I just buy these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NAL-12499225/ and the locks and retainers that come in the kit separately...it ends up being alot cheaper then the kit.

run the patriot extreme dual spring kit and be done with it. The springs are very strong, and come with all lightweight titanium retainers, locks, etc. These springs will handle very aggressive lobes, plus it all comes in a kit for about $275.00 so you know you will be getting everything that you need. They will also fit in a stock spring pocket

Which one of these push rods are stock length? Or are there any better ones out there for the stock lt1 with roller rockers and ls7 lifters?

you need to run chromoly pushrods. 7.200" is stock length, but you will need to measure for correct length, dont assume it will just be 7.200"

idk if you covered this, but run NSA rockers with guideplates and 7/16" studs

[white97z28]

Which studs would fit my application better?

Are any of these rockers good? And what does NSA stand for? Also 1.6 or 1.5?

So do i just wait until i have purchased everything and have it installed to order push rods?

NSA stands for "Non Self Aligning" which means the guide plates will help align the rockers in the right spot. I honestly don't know why there are such things as Self Aligning performance rockers because all I ever hear is that they skip off the valve stem or pushrod. The guide plates keep the push rods aligned correctly so the rockers shouldn't skip off. At least that's my understanding.

LS1s manage self-aligning rockers much better than SBCs do. its all the design.

Oh alright thanks man...so will the stock guide plates do? or do i need to get aftermarket?

[meissen]

I don't think stock LT1s have guideplates.

[JoeliusZ28]

I don't think stock LT1s have guideplates.

they dont. stock rockers are self aligning.

[meissen]

That's what I thought. Mine didn't, but my only experience is with mine and who knows what was done to mine before hand

[white97z28]

Okay so another thing to add to my list...pretty soon ill have to start a project thread lol

So will these rockers do? it doesn't say if they are NSA...

And do i just wait until i have purchased everything and have it installed to order push rods? Like whats the best way to measure for them?

[ThreeHonks]

those are the perfect rockers. and you can buy an adjustable pushrod for measurment
