i was just curious what srings and lifters and retainers could i get away with for running that cam in a 2005 5.3 litre?

 

Keep you stock lifters, ret, locks, exc. Depending on the lift of the cam, you could run the ls-6 springs, or or if more then 550 lift you will need at least the comp 918's

I am with him ^ if it does not have much over 550 lift

 

Is that a TR220? If so, you're going to need something like the Comp 918's since it uses Comp XER lobes which have an agressive ramp rate and require a spring with more seat pressure. If it's a Crane grind with around .55x lift, the LS6 springs should suffice as the lobes are easier on the valvetrain. Not sure what Lunati or Cam Motion would require...

 

comp 918's

 

stock lifters, Patriot dual springs (include ret.,seals,locks,seats), chromoly pushrods. 918's reuse stock ret.etc. should still change seals while you are in there.

 

I agree!!
