Default Building my engine ???

I am putting a 220/224 111 camshaft in my 4.8L Silverado and was wondering if I need a valve kit or if I can just use the stock parts with the cam. Anyone if some good intel please let me know. I am looking to build it up a little and make it reliable.

Most likely you will want/need to upgrade those springs and pushrods.

You will want to change the valve spring/pushrods, get a GOOD tune, and have fun!!!
