    LS6 springs can be run with stock retainers. However, running a XP cam requires upgraded retainers and valve seals to handle the amount of lift the XP creates.

    Never ran an XP so I can't give an opinion. Try searching on the forum. Should be lots of posts regarding the XP cam. As far as the retainers and seals, I shop at Intense and ZZP. BTW, if you are looking to install a L67 into a '94 GP, look up a member here by the name of RALM. He's working on a '95 and might be able to help

    Maybe you should start at the beginning. What exactly are you running and what are you looking to change?

    Take a look at this thread. It's a great starting point to work from. My personal opinion is, you are heading towards trouble. There is ALOT of supporting mods. that need to be done to safely run that low of a pulley (one of the most being a proper tune).
