Stockers will work, you just won't get the full lift of the cam with the shorter stock pushrods. the 7.425's will put you with the lift you would have gotten from the Z06's LS6 sodium filled valves in the 243 heads that were longer than yours (706 heads??) Again with the 117.5 LSA this is a good boost cam, you won't bleed off any of the boost when as the time that both IN and EX valves aren't open at the same time for a long period of time. The LS6 springs area good cheap choice. What blower are you thinking about? Maggie?

......You won't loose ANY lift with the stock pushrods. You will be fine.

Nice setup, it will make up for the TQ you need with that 4.8........I think you will like the Z06 cam for bost.........alot of vette guys love it for that reason..........so then, why would GM put longer valves in the Z06 heads.......they obviously know how hydraulic lifters work?
