Ordered Thorley Tri-Y Headers today!!
Cam stuff to follow.![]()
2002 GMC 1/2 ton Sierra,4WD, Xct cab, camed, mid-length headers, Nelson tune, electric rad. fan, trany cooler, Heavy 5750 lbs with topper.
Looking at a Comp 212/216 .550"L 114 . And hardened push rods.
What do you good gear heads recommend for valve springs?
Are Vinci HP -832 dual coil springs like Manley's? VHP are said to be quiet and long lasting.
Comp. 918 bee hive look good too.
I know at .550" lift it should not be too hard on springs.
Some one could talk me into new rockers too.
PS Surprisingly --We are remodling the bathroom and the wife has been OK with spending $$ on my project because of the $$ put into the bathroom!
But of course this is to get better gas mileage. Save the planet!!![]()

LS6 orange or yellow springs.
Rockers are spendy and don't add much power, figure 5-7rwhp for $300. Money is better spent on underdrive pulleys.
