    Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to send my heads out to get machined and I'm about to order some parts.

    I plan on running the stage 4 blower cam from intense with 7k rpm shift points.
    Is this setup up to the task?

    -Ls7 lifters
    -stock pushrods
    -stock rockers
    -titanium retainers
    -crow cam 150lb springs
    -ZZP turbo intake and exhaust valves

    And also I noticed that the ZZP valves are longer.
    By using their head rocker shims am I still able to use stock length pushrods?

    I would probably upgrade the pushrods. Not sure on the shimming etc.

    Also, I'd have the spring seats cut to ensure they are all the proper 1.800" install height. Even with retainers, we don't get a full 1.800"
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
