I am gathering parts for my zo6 cam swap and have searched and read for a solid week now and am still confused. Do I or do I not need new pushrods? Sorry for asking this again but I really need a straight answer to ease my mind... If I do need them can anyone suggest a good set? Thanks Aaron

hardened pushrods are not a "must" but highly suggested. Any quality hardened pushrod brand will be fine. Be sure to get 7.400" pushrods. Crane, Comp, Manley, they're all fine. The rods are good insurance for any high revving engine.

Gotcha, now springs are a must and I need the yellow ls1 springs right?

yeah, SDPARTS.COM has them for $52.25 last time I checked. If you think you may go to a bigger cam later then get the Comp 918s instead. I would prefer the 918s over the yellows even with that cam. The 918s will let you move up to a .600 lift cam with no issues with coil bind.

Check Texas Speed for some good deals on complete cam packages (dual spring). A complete package with 918 springs is a little cheaper and would probably work for you.
